Presented by Dr. Flavia E. Iuspa, Assistant Teaching Professor, School of Education and Human Development, Florida International University; Dr. Elizabeth Cramer, Professor and Graduate Program Director, School of Education and Human Development, Florida International University; and Dr. Maria Tsalikis, Associate Teaching Professor, School of Education and Human Development, Florida International University
A critical topic for schools, communities, and most importantly, our students, is what teachers do in the classroom to nurture ALL students, create a sense of belonging, and keep educational standards high. Only then can students, especially immigrant students and students of color, meet their potential and succeed in school and beyond. During a recent edWebinar, the presenters underscored that when schools make generalizations about particular student populations and their behavior, they strip them of their individuality, and these students become “invisible.”
Learn how we can build collections that celebrate not only diverse characters but also a diverse range of experiences for those characters to inhabit.
The edWebinar will highlight how individual steps can be taken towards finding agency, racial identity validation, and community.
In this edWebinar, America to Me clips are used to dive into issues and strategies to create an environment that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion.
