Based on the
NEA C.A.R.E. (Culture, Abilities, Resilience, Effort) Curriculum and broken down into three separate workshops, C.A.R.E
strategies prepare educators to implement research-based approaches that
maximize the value that diverse groups of students bring with them to school.
In this C.A.R.E. module: Culturally Responsive, educators will explore how opportunity gaps fuel achievement gaps. Students from diverse backgrounds bring their varied cultural, racial, and socio-economic characteristics and experiences to school. Participants will explore the role educators and the community stakeholders can play while identifying concrete strategies for increasing student engagement to create opportunities and valuable learning experiences for diverse learners.
Please note: The C.A.R.E. series has three parts.
