Coffee Break January 27, 2023: Culturally Responsive Teaching
The Quest to Develop Culturally Responsive Teaching: Unpacking Invisible Barriers to Learning
Andrea DeCapua will host this Coffee Break on Culturally Responsive Teaching.
Effective teaching of LESLLA learners demands a mind shift. We will explore contrasting assumptions and expectations in learning paradigms between educators and learners to identify (largely) invisible barriers to learning. Such an exploration fosters a mind shift, helping to lead to culturally responsive pedagogy, as well as serving to disrupt biases against and deficit views of LESLLA learners.

We hope you meet you online on January 27, 2023 at 8 am CST, (15.00 UTC).
