UnityWorks founder, Dr. Randie Gottlieb, gave a very well-received presentation on “Recognizing Oneness: Educating Teachers about the Unity of Humankind,” at the recent International Social and Economic Development Conference in Orlando, Florida.  The focus of the presentation was on leading teachers from the widespread view of separate races, from entrenched prejudices passed down from previous generations, from prevailing notions of us and them, to the recognition that we are one human race. The conference was attended by 650 development practitioners from countries throughout North and South America and Europe.

UnityWorks is on the road to Royal City, WA, to deliver the second of six diversity training sessions for school district staff and faculty.  The focus is on culture:  its impact on teaching and learning, strategies for creating culturally-responsive classrooms, and ways to communicate more effectively with students, parents and colleagues from other cultural backgrounds.
