Highly diverse student enrollments make teaching toward many identities, backgrounds, and circumstance a critical reality. Today’s students include those from various cultural backgrounds, students with children, students from low income circumstances, students with learning and/or physical disabilities, older students, recent immigrants, and first generation students. This interactive session is designed to assist faculty to develop techniques for creating classroom climate and pedagogy conducive to all students.
This session is designed to offer understandings, tips, and practice in promoting student success and learning in our classes. By taking a recrafting approach to pedagogical design, teachers can continually partner with students to develop empowering student centered learning environments. By learning to identify and design for strengths from student identities, life circumstances and ways of being teachers are able to chart a course for student success and ensure that learning takes place for all students.
