Dispatches from the Second Annual Summer Professional Development Institute
The Eagle Academy Foundation, an Open Society grantee, recently hosted their second annual Summer Professional Development Institute. This year, the conference theme was “Saving Our Sons 2010: Building Community and Defying Expectations.” Over three days, teachers and educators from across the country learned about Eagle Academy’s work to improve the educational outcomes of African American and Latino boys and discussed strategies that practitioners can use every day in the classroom.
Audio from the July 7 welcome reception—featuring speakers including David Banks, president of Eagle Academy Foundation—is available above.
