GSU - MILE Symposium : Suzanne W. Peck, President of Peck Consulting, led this symposium of Educational Leaders. MILE (Metropolitan Institute for Leadership in Education) was funded by the State of Illinois to address the impacts of 'cultural dissonance' such as disruptive student behavior, low expectations for student achievement, poor or non-existent pre-school preparation, family poverty, parent disaffiliation with the schools, and increasing numbers of non-English speakers. These phenomena were identified as barriers to success in the classroom, and are related to matters of inadequate funding, race, class, and gender.
