Various
sources consistently tell us that paying attention to Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion (DEI) in the classroom is essential to providing a quality
education. Sometimes your class really lends itself to discussions of
human diversity, but sometimes it seems impossible to flawlessly integrate
discussions of diversity in to your class material. Our presenter, Dr.
Anna Pope, will present and demonstrate some easy inclusive activities and
practices that you can implement as soon as next week without changing your
curriculum. Anna will share her experiences with each of these techniques
and offer help and advice in implementing them in the classroom.
Additionally, any classroom intervention should be tested, thus we will discuss
not only how effective we feel the techniques are but also how you can get
involved in Anna’s ongoing work to collect data on each of these activities.
