Why it sparks inspiration
How does an educator’s culture shape their teaching and expectations? This webinar provides educators with a framework to explore how culture shapes their interactions with children and influences their expectations of child behaviour. By reflecting on unconscious attitudes and developing cross-cultural competence, educators can enhance their ability to understand and support diverse behaviours. This webinar equips educators to foster inclusive, respectful classroom environments that honour the diverse cultural backgrounds of all children.
“Cultural congruence between the child’s home and school is the cornerstone of culturally responsive practices.”
