Mentoring Opportunity at Walter Payton College Prep

Waltern Payton College Prep is looking to start a mentoring program consisting of 3-10 long-term mentors.

DePaul College Of Education Fall 2013 Forum

Latino Students: Challenges and Opportunities

Save the date for the College of Education's Fall Forum, to be held on Tuesday, October 15th from 5:30 to 7:30 at the DePaul Student Center, Room 314

Click for flyer

As the student population changes, it is important for current and future teachers to be well prepared to educate culturally and linguistically diverse students. Latino children represent the largest ethnic group, making up 44% in CPS and 25% in Illinois schools. Many Latino students continue to struggle with achievement and face numerous challenges to acquiring a quality education. The forum will help current and future teachers and counselors develop a better understanding of the issues surrounding the growing Latino student population in schools. The panel will address the impact of the immigrant experience on families and students, examine the education outcomes and opportunities for Latino children, explore language policies for English Language Learners, and discuss ways that teachers can reach out to parents, bridging the world of home and school.

Our speakers will include:

Sonia Soltero,  Bilingual and Bicultural Education, DePaul College of Education 

Rebecca Vonderlack-Navarro, Research and Policy Analyst, Latino Forum

Francisco Gaytan, Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, Northeastern Illinois University

Laura Crotte, Abriendo Puertas, a parent outreach and engagement program

Teachers will receive 2 CPDUs.  If you plan on bringing your Tuesday night class, please R.S.V.P.  We have seating for 180. Please announce this event to your students. The flyer is attached.

For more information and to R.S.V.P., contact Diane Horwitz at dhorwit1@depaul.edu
