Description
The facilitator will present resources with concepts on the historical context of culturally responsive pedagogy and why we need to move in this manner in our classrooms and schools. Then we will move into what it means to work with our biases and possible prejudiced views – taking a look at ourselves. Then we will look at some theoretical and academic resources teachers may use for their own self excavation. Next, we will look at best practices for teachers to start these conversations with their students. This webinar will focus on investing in personal and professional development to improve pedagogical practices with students in K-12.
