AFT Conference: Collaborating to Make Our Schools Culturally Responsive The theme of this year’s Center for School Improvement Leadership Institute was “Transforming Systems to Be Culturally Responsive.” Morningside Center was honored to join the planning team for this three-day conference organized by the AFT and the UFT Teacher Center. The AFT sent teams from over 25 cities that included educators, principals, superintendents, and, importantly, students and parents.
