Critical Media & Information Literacies, Professional Development Course

This workshop explores strategies and perspectives related to developing a culturally responsive pedagogy and framework in the K-12 setting. Educators are supported in creating and facilitating environments that embrace cultural responsiveness through exploring best practices, skills, and strategies necessary to promote culturally inclusive and equitable learning environments. The outcome of this workshop is to equip educators with practical tools and strategies to implement culturally responsive instruction and foster a welcoming, affirming, and inclusive learning environment.

This 4-part cohort is designed to immerse educators in the foundational principles and best practices of Project-Based Learning (PBL). Educators will engage in a hands-on, collaborative learning experience that will span critical aspects of PBL, from understanding the principles of PBL and how it will enhance student learning to project design and assessment. Educators will leave the cohort equipped with the tools and knowledge to re-imagine and transform their classrooms into dynamic, student-centred learning environments.
