Conference presentations directly related to issues around multicultural and international pillars. This cannot be teased out as I have studied and researched multicultural education and the works of Drs. James Banks, Etta Hollins, Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kathryn Au, and Geneva Gay and have studied, researched and lived international/global education. It can be noted that the Alliance for International Education conference that I have been invited to be a strand leader and part of the conference organizers is an organization I have been a part of since the first conference in 2000 when I attended in Germany. This is the leading conference for international education thought leaders as it is led by the founders of the field of international education in an international school context, Drs. Mary Hayden and Jeff Thompson. The work that is done at this conference directly related to the future of the International Baccalaureate Organization. I first worked in an International Baccalaureate school in 1997 and continue to be a part of their consultancy team and I facilitate their global online professional development a few times each year.
