Workshop Presentation Summary

Ten Things You Can Do to Make Your Classroom More Inclusive

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging work and initiatives have changed greatly since 2020. We quickly pivoted to different approaches and mindset, and we often looked for playbooks to help us navigate them. As educators, we are always trying hard to elevate the students’ experiences and consider the diversity of thought and perspectives, while teaching our content and skills. In this interactive, reflective and practical workshop, we will pose ten strategies to include in your practices to foster more welcoming, respectful, and safe learning environment/classrooms. Each person’s journey within DEIB work is different, and it is important to honor each person’s place and time within this continuum. In this workshop, participants will learn strategies to cultivate a welcoming, respectful, and safe learning environment for all students.
