Attendees will understand the definition and theory of cultural proficiency and learn practical classroom applications for identifying and addressing microaggressions. This is a high-energy, interactive keynote where participants will be able to raise questions, discuss challenges in real-time, and discuss the next steps for their school.
As educators, we must understand the impact racial microaggressions have on teaching and learning while developing an intellectual identity. Teachers must do the arduous personal work of addressing their own implicit bias while creating psychologically safe classrooms. This session is designed to allow participants to gain a clear understanding of how to interrupt microaggressions while preserving relationships.
