One of UM&#8217;s Black History Month events, the discussion is sponsored by the <a href=\"http:\/education.olemiss.edu\">UM School of Education<\/a>, and the public is invited to attend.<\/p>\n<p>The panel will feature full-time graduate students who are studying education as well as some who are already working in kindergarten through 12th-grade classrooms in the north Mississippi area, said Nichelle Robinson, diversity officer and associate professor with the School of Education.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson said the title of the event refers to the conversation on this topic that began at a School of Education symposium held in September. During last semester\u2019s symposium, a panel discussion focused on the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka U.S. Supreme Court decision that declared the state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students were unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>Last semester\u2019s symposium asked the question, \u201cWhere is Mississippi 63 years after the court case of Brown v. the Board of Education?\u201d The panel featured individuals who were knowledgeable about the history of education in Mississippi and included members from the Mississippi Department of Education, policymakers, professors and journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday\u2019s panel discussion will continue this discussion but feature the perspective of students in the school\u2019s doctoral program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy thing was, you know what, let\u2019s keep the conversation going that we started in September,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cBut this time, let\u2019s use our doctorate students. They are actually in the classroom every day, working with these kids.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to see what their take on the topic is, and see if it is different from the policymakers and those who participated in our panel back in September.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The panel discussion will be moderated by Steve Becton, associate program director for urban education at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facinghistory.org\/\">Facing History and Ourselves<\/a>. Panelists will be Alina Harges, special education teacher; Mark Jean-Louis, educator in leadership; Becky Nance, math teacher; and Erica Avent, an elementary schoolteacher.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about this event, contact Robinson at ncboyd@olemiss.edu.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OXFORD, Miss \u2013 The state of education for African-American students in Mississippi and strategies to ensure these students receive an equitable education will be explored during a panel discussion at the University of Mississippi on Tuesday. \u201cThe Conversation Continues\u201d will take place at 6 p.m. in Guyton Annex 209.
