Connections, compassion, empathy, and acceptance are foundational qualities of education. This interactive workshop challenges participants to explore how their own experiences and social groups shape our perceptions and impact our classrooms. We will focus on the first two elements of cultural competency, awareness, and knowledge, through self-reflection, the role of building relationships in student success, learning about culture in our classrooms, and cultural responsive classroom practices.
