In this webinar, we will use the principles of Culturally Responsive, Relevant and Sustaining Pedagogies to make curriculum connections to our teaching approaches to create Mirrors, Windows and Revolving/ Sliding doors for Students. We will explore how an ‘asset-based’ approach to the curriculum allows students to not only see themselves reflected in their learning, but to also see the world and how all that can become a springboard for meaningful learning.
