ALC 2010 NATIONAL TOWN HALL CHALLENGES PUBLIC TO ERASE
KNOWLEDGE DEFICIT AND RETHINK K-12 EDUCATION
WASHINGTON - A virtual “Who’s-Who” of educators and school policy
wonks will gather at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on
Thursday, September 16th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for the
Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s National Town Hall Meeting,
“Educating Our Way to Prosperity.” CBCF’s Town Hall is a premier event
during the organization’s Annual Legislative Conference (ALC).
The education discussions will be led by senior administration
officials and educators who have made their mark in the field. The
Town Hall will take place in the format of two panel discussions
exploring how to prepare young people for both the jobs of the future
and where those jobs will be. Moderated by Representative Gwen Moore
(D-WI), the first Panel will feature a number of high profile speakers
including Education Secretary Arne Duncan, National Urban League CEO
Marc Morial, UNCF President and CEO Dr. Michael Lomax, Labor Secretary
Hilda Solis, Howard University President Sidney Ribeau and EPA
Administrator Lisa Jackson.
A key point of discussion on Panel I will be the Reauthorization of
the Elementary Secondary Education
Act (ESEA), and whether portions of the previous legislation, “No
Child Left Behind” need to be kept,
Removed and/or reconsidered. Panelists will examine the need to
support African-American students in order to ensure their academic
achievement and their personal development.
A particular emphasis will be placed on teaching African-American
males, attracting them to the profession and encouraging them to
assume leadership positions. This panel will also discuss the over-
criminalization of African-American male students, and the negative
impact of zero-tolerance
disciplinary policies in our nation’s schools.
Other panel topics include: The making of “highly effective teachers,”
disparities in education funding preparation of students to enter
college or start careers, the role of community colleges, and
historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and teacher
training will all be featured topics of discussion.
Panel II will focus on future outlooks in the job market and what
happens to young people upon matriculation through high school or
college. Secretary Duncan will share the spotlight with the Assistant
Secretary of Training and Employment for the U.S Department of Labor
Jane Oates along with other local and national education experts.
They will discuss current and future job growth, the expansion of new
jobs in areas of health care and internet technology and jobs that are
becoming obsolete. Panelists will also examine the geographic regions
that have, and are expected to have the most job growth in the future.
Topics will include the current intergenerational labor force that
consists of citizens the Millennial Generation to Baby Boomers. One of
the most talked-about issues of the day – the impact of retiring Baby
Boomers – will round out the discussion.

The Center for Sustainable Communities (CSC) needs volunteers and

caulking, use of power tools, crawling, work in tight spaces (attics/
crawl spaces) and screwing in light bulbs.
This is a very fun and worthwhile activity for the community and the
League. Please contact CES if you are available to volunteer for one
or both of the following dates:
