CRT: Empowering Students

The cultural, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of our students brings value and assets to our classrooms and communities. The Culturally Relevant Teaching: Empowering Students strand brings educators together to explore strategies and lessons that help empower students through examination, validation, and celebration of their own and others’ cultures. Come ready to engage with colleagues in community-building activities and critical conversations around race, gender, class, sexual orientation, and other culturally relevant topics, all designed to equip participants with practical strategies for empowering students in our classrooms, schools, and districts. This strand welcomes all school and district staff, and provides a forum for everyone to collaborate around equity and culturally relevant practices in support of our students.
