Moving towards inclusion: Strategies for creating equitable classroom communities with Erin Reid and Charlotte Brenner
Noon until 1:00pm, March 10, 2023, via Zoom
This presentation will focus on how teachers can create physical, social, and academic space within their classrooms for diverse students to connect to curricular content and their peers. Charlotte will provide an overview of how self-regulated learning aligns with the promotion of inclusive teaching practices across the curriculum. Erin will outline how teaching strategies grounded in frameworks of radical empathy and racial literacy can help educators create brave classroom spaces for genuine inclusion.
