Refugee Educator Foundations of Practice

This facilitated and cohort-based course offers educators an opportunity to explore teaching and learning approaches and methodologies ranging from culturally responsive pedagogies to trauma-informed practice to differentiation and Universal Design for Learning (among others). The course is designed by and for educators using an asset-based orientation to work with culturally and linguistically diverse students of refugee backgrounds across the U.S.
The main goals of the course are for educators to walk away with
1. a toolkit of resources, including effective, research-based strategies and methods for working with newcomer, refugee, and culturally and linguistically diverse learners
2. increased confidence and self-efficacy specific to their work with refugee students
3. a new or wider network and community of educators committed to supporting the academic achievement and well-being of students of refugee backgrounds.
