           PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
                FIRST ANNUAL EQUITY IN EDUCATION CONFERENCE
        Sponsored by the NATIONAL COALITION FOR EQUITY IN EDUCATION
                              (NCEE)
                          July 18-21, 2001
                 Beaver Run Resort, Breckenridge, Colorado

Please reserve these dates on your calendar for NCEE's first annual
conference!

Our goal for this conference is to build and expand our community -
to provide support for educators working for equity and to strengthen
our professional and personal relationships with one another.

Participants will learn:
* concrete tools and strategies for addressing equity issues,

* effective and constructive use of achievement data in professional
development,

* how university educators can make changes in teacher preparation courses,

* how to create supportive environments for change,

* how to take school level action related to curriculum, teaching
placement policies, and other matters that affect student access and
opportunity,

* how to help change classroom teaching practices.

This conference will not be the usual sit-and-listen event. We will
provide opportunities for extensive interaction and communication
among the 300 expected attendees.

The conference is open to any educator interested in promoting
educational equity and is especially for educators who have
participated in projects sponsored by the National Coalition for
Equity in Education, such as the Equity in Mathematics Education
Leadership Institute, Equity in Science Education and The voices of
Alum Rock.
