Title: Intersections: Working Together for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Description:
As educators, we have the opportunity and the responsibility to promote both cultural and structural shifts that benefit all learners within our classrooms and wider community. In this highly interactive course, participants will inquire into the role of both student and teacher identity, and explore how a deeper understanding and practical applications within a DEI framework supports equitable outcomes for all learners.
- We will consider the intersections of our educational, cultural, and ideological influences not only as members of each of our schools but as members of the wider global community.
- We will explore concrete strategies for promoting more inclusive approaches and practices.
