Chappell Elizabeth Gty State University held its first nationally televised cx3nfo«nce on March 30 at the Kermit White Graduate Center. Approximately 365 classroom teachers, teacher education majors, ad ministrators and faculty atterrfed the daylong conference, which was spon sored by the Model Summer Student Teaching Project and the Black College Satellite Network. The teleconference, entitied "Strength ening Teachw Preparation: Where Are We Going? Who Will Lead Usr had three goals—to enhance multicultural education, to explore innovative ideas, and to identify leaders, according to Dr. Lois Green, Conference Director and Di rector of the Model Summer Student Teaching Project. Addressing goal number one. Dr. Boyce Williams, Director of Teacher Education atECSU,said, 'Tf current(national)trends continue, by the year2000only 45 percent of the student population v^l te non- minority and yet 95 peiCCTt of the teskch- ers will be white." WilliamspwtedoutthatevenatECSU Ws trend is already evident. Of the 174 teacher education najors, 70 percent are white. Dr. Helen CaWwdl, Vice Chancdlor for Academic Affairs, e±K)ed this con- cem over a lack erf minority educators. "The NTH hangs like an albatross around many who wish to enter the teach- profession," said Caldwdl. "How ever, we (at ECSU) have established an ii^tutional infrastructure to hdp stu dents pass the NTE." Enhancing multicultural education was also a concern of f^tured ^«aker Dr. Algeania Freeman, Assistant Vice Presi dent for Academic Planning and Pro gram Development at Morgan State Uni versity, Baltimore, MD. Freeman urged students to bdieve in themselves and their ability to leam. She encouraged parents to teach discipline and respect to their children and to help teachers obtain needed resources. She also recommended that teachers "involve people as mentors, especially from cul- turailly diverse backgrounds." Yvonne Smith and Bruce Kanze, teach ers at Central Paric East School in East Harlem, NY, addressed the second goal of tiie teleconference—to explore innova tive ideas. After the presentation Smith and Kanze studentsasked questions concern ing the presentations. Then a panel re sponded to the speeches of Freeman, Smith and Kanze and also helped to ad dress the final goal of the teleconference— to identify new leaders. Panelist E^. Jeanette Evans, Chief of staff at Baltimore Public Schools, Balti more, MD, said that the "central office needs to k>se its bureaucratic attitude and place decision-making on the classroom level between teachers and students. Linwood Williams, principal of P. W. More Elemenatry School, said that "only the qualified will lead us. And technol ogy will lead those. Dr. AUiive Riddick, personnel director atGatesCounty PublicSchools, said, "We need nrwre women and minority groups in leadership roles." Other panelists were Lisa Gregory, English EducatiOTi major; J. Pat Harrdl, Superintendent, Dare County Schools; and Alex Leary, a teacher from North eastern Higji School. Folk)wing presentations by the panel ists, Preemcin offered a new acronym whidi summed up the whole program: teach—Teachers Enacting Actions for Changing Humanity. "We are put here on Earth to serve," Freeman said. 'Tf we reach out to others aivd hdp them, our li ves will be enriched.
