Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Webinar Details & Objectives
To create not only inclusive classrooms but equitable ones, practitioners must expand their capacity for cultural understanding, get proximal to their students and learn about their lives-their culture. In order to strengthen the inclusivity of a classroom, educators should infuse pedagogical techniques that are culturally responsive and relevant. This will ensure students feel connected inside and outside the learning environment. During this webinar, we will examine culturally relevant approaches by Hammond, Ladson-Billings, Museus, and more.
Objectives:
- Define the need for culturally relevant pedagogy and culturally proficient practitioners.
- Discuss the impact culturally responsive teaching has on equity in the classroom.
- Demonstrate how to implement culturally relevant pedagogical techniques in the classroom
