This workshop helps teachers learn how to effectively implement culturally responsive instruction in their classrooms. Participants will explore practical strategies for accomplishing academic and social-emotional goals side by side. They’ll discuss learning conditions that honor all identities and reflect diversity, equity and justice. And they’ll plan to make culturally responsive practices part of a larger individual, school and community action strategy.
May 12, 2018 | Facilitating Critical Conversations
This workshop helps teachers learn how to talk openly about the historical roots and the contemporary manifestations of social inequality and discrimination. Participants will explore strategies for facilitating critical conversations with students and colleagues. They’ll engage in personal reflection and examine some commonly held beliefs and biases that influence educators’ abilities to be responsive to all students. And they’ll plan student-centered instruction and investigate ways to teach about implicit bias, race, racism and other critical topics.
