SUMMARY:Culturally Responsive Workshop: Creating Welcoming and Affirming Learning Environments
DESCRIPTION:Creating Welcoming and Affirming Learning Environments is one of four high leverage principles identified in the Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education (CRSE) Framework. When students feel like they belong at school\, they have fewer absences\, fewer disciplinary infractions\, higher graduation rates\, as well as increased engagement\, self-esteem\, and attitudes. Students with disabilities and students of different cultural backgrounds are less likely to feel like they have a positive relationship with their teacher and that their identities and abilities are valued and affirmed in school. Expected Outcomes: By the end of this training\, participants will: \n● Understand how a welcoming and affirming learning environment improves student outcomes \n● Better understand their own identities and how those identities shape their relationships and experiences \n● Develop strategies for creating a welcoming and affirming learning environment \n● Identify 2-3 next steps for ongoing professional learning \n* This is workshop will be in person at Dutchess BOCES @ Salt Point Turnpike Campus located at: 5 BOCES Road\, Pougkeepsie\, NY 12601 \nFor information and registration: Click Here
