Institute for Culturally Responsive Pedagogy
Are you interested in creating a learning environment that is engaging and accessible to a broad range of culturally diverse students?
The Institute for Culturally Responsive Pedagogy (ICRP) is a symposium that serves as a learning engagement opportunity for faculty and staff interested in growing their knowledge around how to use students’ assets, diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives as tools for better classroom instruction. Speakers will lift up ways to foster a sense of belonging for those students who often find themselves at the margins in traditional learning environments.
