Brief Program Description
It is often said that “perception is reality”, but the deeper question is “whose” reality. Despite our best efforts, there still exist challenging gaps in showing respect and courtesy to everyone, regardless of the differences. How do we do that? The mindfulness about how we perceive and are perceived in this session will be steeped with culturally congruent pedagogical practices This engaging, fun and interactive, real, raw, and relevant session will challenge and show attendees how to examine those subtle struggles or obstacles that we all face when looking at our students, parents, colleagues and the hardest of all, at ourselves. They will reflect, reconsider and self-examine how their perceptions might influence their expectations for not only their students, but also their fellow teachers, parents, school & community and subsequently, the ways they teach. Participants will leave with individual and building-wide self-assessments and activities that can be used to create a positive climate and culture of intentionally promoting inclusivity and positive relationships.
