Title: Culturally and Experientially Responsive Pedagogy: Teaching to Diverse Asian and Asian American Students

Description:
With communities across the United States now reflecting even greater diversity and complexity, our classrooms are also rapidly changing, and schools are faced with both opportunities and challenges in providing instruction that is rich and meaningful. Diverse student populations offer valuable opportunities for classroom and community enrichment.  
 
Like many other communities, Asian and Asian American students represent a wide spectrum of ethnicities, languages, histories, generations, cultures, and religions. Providing culturally and experientially responsive instruction to these students can be daunting.
 
In this webinar, SPICE welcomes Dr. Khatharya Um to discuss the diversity of our Asian and Asian American students, and share some pedagogical tools and approaches to support more effective teaching in culturally diverse classroom environments.
 
Join us via Zoom video webinar for a one-hour presentation, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A with Dr. Um.
