Culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) is an approach that challenges deficit perspectives and draws on students’ strengths to foster success. Join a community of staff and faculty interested in exploring CRP-informed topics, theories, and activities related to this approach. Facilitated by Teaching and Learning Specialist, Victoria Surtees, the community is a space to share practices and resources, ask questions, and collaborate.
This year, we are scheduling with equity in mind: we will be meeting monthly as a community but there will be two meeting times for you to choose from. Come to the same one every time, or switch it up when you need to.
- Tuesdays 9-10:30;
- Wednesdays, 2:30-4pm.
Below are the dates, topics, and modality:
- Sept. 19th (9-10:30) / 20th (2:30-4pm) – What is CRP and what is this community about? (in-person)
