Developing a Culturally Responsive Pedagogy:
This session rests upon the uncomfortable truth that racism is normal, it’s pervasive. It’s in society and it is in our institutional settings, it’s in the everyday! This platform will provide opportunities to engage in some critical discussions about how practitioners can develop a culturally responsive practice which acknowledges, nurtures and celebrates the diverse, racialized identities of young people and their families.
Often times the discourse around cultural and linguistic barriers focusses on a deficit approach rather than the added value and creativity that it brings. This session will be an opportunity to ask questions and share good practice in developing effective strategies in promoting partnerships with all families.
