MEET OUR TWO CONFERENCE KEYNOTES

Thursday, April 10, 2025


Sunni L. Solomon II, M.S.

Sunni L. Solomon II is a lifelong educator who credits his perseverance and success in higher education largely to two very important support networks: the Black men who stepped in as mentors, and the Black women who unselfishly offered themselves up as othermothers. Grounded by an ethic of care that embraces the theories of meaning and mattering, Sunni has been actively engaged in developing and enhancing supportive eco-systems that uplift Black boys and men. Notable accomplishments include co-authoring book chapters related to the history, culture, and societal impact of Historically Black Colleges & Universities in edited volumes for both Taylor Francis and SUNY Press. In 2019 he received the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) Men & Masculinities Knowledge Community Award for Outstanding Campus Service based on work performed to implement student success, retention, and life skills programming and mentoring opportunities for undergraduate men of color over a 5 year period at University of Baltimore. Currently Mr. Solomon serves as inaugural director of CCBC’s longstanding Male Student Success Initiative (MSSI) – a holistic student support, retention and success eco-system designed to engage and advance men of color. Under his leadership this initiative has grown from 120 student participants to 450+ participants in a 2 year period and graduated nearly 30 men of color in spring 2024.

Sunni earned his bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Cheyney University of Pennsylvania – The nation’s 1st Historically Black College, and received a master's degree in College Student Affairs from Eastern Illinois University. Currently he is a doctoral candidate (ABD) in the PhD Higher Education Administration program at Morgan State University.

H. Bernard Hall, Ph.D.

H. Bernard Hall, Ph.D. is Assistant Professor of Urban Teacher Education at Drexel University in the Department of Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum. His teaching and research interests include urban teacher education and development, social justice-oriented approaches to secondary English education, Hip Hop (W)righting pedagogies, and critical qualitative research. As Founder of Brown Street Educational Consultants, Dr. Hall has more than 15 years of experience facilitating professional development workshops on culturally relevant and anti-racist teaching and learning in public and independent K-12 schools, colleges/universities, and community-based organizations. Currently, he is staying up late to write his first book, Hip Hop Pedagogies as Antiracist Practice: Writing our Words and Righting our Worlds (w/ Michele DeVirgilio), and getting up early to workout with his favorite student-athletes, Noah (16) and Braden (14).


CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS AND PANELS

Offered by educators and scholars from across the nation. Student-only sessions and panels on cultural pedagogy in colleges and in K-12. Session schedule will be provided.



PRE-CONFERENCE CRTL INSTITUTE: Wednesday, April 9, 2025.

A full day of in-person training in culturally relevant pedagogy. This special pre-conference session is to train educators, administrators and staff in CRTL principles, and to prepare them to train others in their institutions. The CRTL Train-the-Trainer Institute covers one of two offered modules:



Module 1: Using Cognitive Dissonance to Navigate Resistance

Cognitive dissonance occurs when there is conflict between beliefs and behaviors. In this workshop, participants learn that dissonance can be a powerful tool for change, help us recognize our biases, and work toward equity. This interactive workshop will include activities which induce dissonance. Then participants are provided with tools to help manage resistance to equity efforts.



Module 2: Addressing Implicit Bias and Microaggressions

What are microaggressions, and what is the best way to respond when we hear them? How do we create teachable, restorative moments from instances of harmful bias? Participants will learn about implicit bias, reflect on examples of microaggressions, and review the RAVEN method, developed by Wood and Harris, as a tool to create inclusive classrooms.

*The CRTL Institute registration fee: $250 for full day of training and materials. Register through Eventbrite.
