PURPOSE

Teaching in a diverse and dynamic learning environment presents a unique opportunity to embrace inclusive teaching practices. In a socio-culturally responsive classroom, students’ cultural identities, experiences, and perspectives are valuable assets that can be nurtured through persistence and a growth mindset. By integrating inclusive approaches into daily ELL classroom activities, educators can honor students’ diverse backgrounds while fostering resilience and a positive attitude toward challenges. This session explores practical strategies for creating an inclusive learning space that enhances student engagement and retention. Join us to discover how to implement these approaches effectively in your classroom.
