You’re invited to “Culturally Responsive Teaching in Uncertain Times,” a workshop where you will consider why diversity matters in today’s classroom and how you can teach in a diverse environment and harness the cultural knowledge your students bring.   

Designed as a professional development workshop intended primarily for high school and community college educators (but open to all K-16 school professionals), this one-day virtual event will challenge educators to learn about the larger contexts that shape student learning. 

This workshop is designed for teachers willing to reflect on personal practices and attitudes that influence their teaching as well as to develop strategies for culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy. 

Teachers will hear from scholars at the University of Kansas and local educators from rural and urban schools that are responding to diversity in new and dynamic ways. They will be introduced to emerging research and work with other educators to consider how pedagogy and curriculum can adequately address educational inequalities and social justice. 

Please join us on Saturday, October 30, 2021 from 9:00-3:00 p.m. This is a free workshop offered by the University of Kansas Area Studies Centers.
