CET Faculty Fellow Nandini Rajagopalan and Distinguished Faculty Fellow Alison Dundes Renteln discuss the complex intersections of culture and education.
Our classrooms are filled with diversity. Each student is culturally unique and brings a core set of values, perspectives, concerns and agendas to the learning environment. Understanding the individuality of each student, apart from stereotypes, is important to effective teaching. As teachers it is important for us to recognize that our own assumptions are affected by both our societal values and our experiences, and that these assumptions often influence how we interact with and what we expect from our students. This workshop will explore how to use inclusive teaching strategies that recognize diversity, promote greater participation, and provide a variety of learning experiences.
