Curricular and Pedagogical Strategies for a Culturally Affirming Classroom

by Trae Stewart, Ph.D.

Schools are becoming increasingly more diverse. Linguistic heritage, religious beliefs, and learning styles are examples of characteristics that influence student behavior and learning. Such differences create a simultaneously exciting and challenging teaching environment, however. This workshop is designed to help educators understand how to work effectively with all learners by creating a culturally affirming classroom. Participants will learn the characteristics of multicultural education and associated teaching strategies. Practical lesson planning techniques, communication practices, and assessing one’s own beliefs and biases will be explored as well.

Audience: All teachers and administrators
