Culturally Responsive Teaching: Building Resiliency and Academic Mindset in Today’s Classroom
Saturday, April 4th, 9:45am - 11:00am - Session I
We often hear the phrase “culturally responsive teaching” in the education landscape, but what is it and what is it NOT? During this session, you will learn about the foundations of culturally responsive education and how to incorporate CRT into your classroom through strong pedagogical approaches and relevant, engaging resources. You will walk away with a deeper understanding about CRT and how you can weave practices into your classroom that provide students with “mirrors and windows” that create a lasting connection to their learning community.
