S25-04080 CREATING A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE CLASSROOM
ENVIRONMENT
Gayle Meinkes-Lumia - gmeinkeslumia@bufsd.org
3 Credits - Inservice - June 25—August 15
Culturally responsive classroom education is at the forefront of teaching in the 21st Century. Students need to learn how to take educational risks and assume the responsibilities of independent work and collaboration. They need to be able to identify inequities and advocate for diversity within the classroom environment. Participants will be able to learn how to create a classroom environment that represents and values all cultural backgrounds within the confines of their classroom. They will learn how to inculcate various perspectives throughout their respective disciplines and address ways in which empathy, conversations, backgrounds, and perspectives play a part in learning. The class will address the ways that students take ownership in their learning and view mistakes as ways to be constructive.
