Diversity Symposium at The Ancona School on Saturday, April 18

The Ancona School is thrilled to partner with the Center on Halsted and Gerber Hart Library for its 3rd annual Diversity Symposium on Saturday, April 18, 2015 from 8am - 3pm. This year's program will explore gender fluidity within the context of parenting and teaching. Workshops will challenge misconceptions, provide interpretations and offer practical context for participants surrounding work with gender conforming and non-conforming students.  

After a welcome coffee reception, the day will include a keynote, breakout sessions and lunch followed by a theatrical performance by About Face Theatre with a Q&A. Breakout sessions will include: 

• An Ally in the Classroom
• (Re)Claiming Our Gender Narrative
• Using Reader's Workshop to Explore Gender Construct
• Custom You, Custom Gender Identity
• Honest Conversation, a Parent Conversation Roundtable

Tickets may be purchased for $30 (general admission) or for $20 (students and educators) through the school's website, http://anconaschool.org/diversity-symposium/.
