Oct 27, 2025 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM

Registration Deadline: Oct 27, 2025 08:30 AM

In increasingly diverse classrooms, teaching that recognizes and values students' cultural backgrounds is essential for fostering equity and reflexive learning. This interactive workshop will overview the principles and practices of culturally responsive teaching across disciplines. Participants will explore how culture shapes learning, examine strategies to connect course content to students' lived experiences, and reflect on their own positionality as educators. Through guided discussion and hands-on activities, instructors will practice adapting lesson plans and teaching approaches to create inclusive and engaging learning environments.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the key principles of culturally responsive teaching and articulate their importance in diverse classroom settings.

  • Apply culturally responsive strategies to lesson design, student engagement, and classroom interaction.
