9:00 AM - 12:30 PM (3 PDs)
“Making Consistent Steps to Centering Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in the World Language Classroom”
Presented by Kia London, Latin School of Chicago

Our world language students are exploring and igniting their curiosities through their experiences and content being presented to them in the real world. As teachers, we have a responsibility to meet our students where they are at and prepare them for a journey of life experiences. Therefore, we must examine ourselves, reflect on our current mindsets, and transform our practice to one that centers diversity, equity, and inclusion in our classroom communities.
