CORE FOCUS: Culturally Responsive Teaching
This Regional Practicum centers students’ experiences and funds of knowledge in the classroom, viewing the student and their community as assets in the learning process.
Culturally Responsive Teaching can be infused into all areas of our teaching practice to create classroom environments that incorporate student voice and affirm the lived experiences of all students. Participants will explore how to connect learning experiences to the cultural references and backgrounds of students.

additional lens: social emotional learning

Social-Emotional Learning explores the ways that students can gain and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that contribute to developing healthy identities, managing and regulating emotions, building supportive relationships through connection, displaying empathy for others, and making caring and responsible decisions. Participants will explore how to create learning spaces and experiences that center authentic relationships, trust, and student-centered collaboration.
