This workshop is an opportunity to connect with other educators and explore what it means to put Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the center of your classroom practice.

Attendees will be asked to evaluate their subject material as well as their classroom practices through a DEI lens. There will also be time to workshop in small groups and create a plan for meaningful changes. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of what DEI really means as well as the knowledge and confidence to begin implementing what they’ve learned starting Monday morning.
