Workshop 17

 

Embracing Diversity in the Multicultural Classroom

by Kay Allen, Ph.D.

Classrooms are reflective of our diverse societies. One challenge facing teachers is creating learning environments that embrace the diverse cultural backgrounds of their students. In this interactive workshop, participants will use personal cultural inventories to explore their assumptions, stereotypes, and prejudices of cultures different from their own. This workshop will highlight those issues most pertinent to middle east classrooms, such as students from diverse ethnic, linguistic, and national heritages. Based on the concepts discussed, participants will formulate instructional strategies that encourage effective interactions with and among all students.

Audience: All teachers
