Brief Program Description

The role of schools in shaping society's future is crucial. Therefore, it's vital that they value diversity and prioritize equity over equality. Neglecting this can harm students both in the present and future.

One of the most common mistakes made by educators is adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to various issues, such as teaching methodologies, assessment techniques, and disciplinary measures. While this may seem like a fair and equal approach, it often leads to exclusion and marginalization.

In this session, participants will learn about the evolving classroom audience, gain strategies to embrace diversity, and effectively include all learners in planned experiences.
