  • 3/22 Embracing Diversity in the Classroom

    Thursday         March 22nd                 11:00-12:15    Embracing Diversity in the Classroom

    If we truly believe that our mission as educators involves providing all students with equal opportunities to learn, we have to be ready to do just that. In this session, we will address:

    • the notion of cultural competence and cultural competency in the classroom

    • how to welcome and incorporate diversity into all our classes, even if our topic/discipline doesn’t seem to obviously lend to that

    • ideas for helping ourselves and our students and be more culturally competent
