Description:

In this 2-part workshop participants will learn tools and strategies of Culturally Responsive Educators. Active participation and inquiry are essential to the success of this workshop. Together we will explore how using a culturally responsive approach in out-of-school time builds community, increases program quality and promotes learning and development. Attendance in both sessions is required. In the first session, we introduce foundations of culturally responsive teaching and unpack four areas of practice. Each participant will develop a plan to explore one of the practice areas through application in their daily work. In the second session, participants will engage in critical self-reflection and share insights from their practice.

Takeaways:

• Expand vocabulary for talking about culturally responsive education

• Learn strategies to support cognitive development

• Practice applying elements of culturally responsive education in out-of-school time
