See DetailsWhen teachers and leaders implement an identity-conscious practice, they can provide a more responsive and responsible learning environment. Unfortunately, avoiding the impact of identity can create problematic and oppressive conditions in schools. So how do we lead with an identity-consciousness? Award-winning author Liza Talusan provides real-world scenarios that educators can work through to apply an identity-conscious practice.
Dr. Talusan helps educators grapple with three key questions:
- How do I build knowledge about scenarios that involve identity?
- How do my own thoughts, attitudes, behaviors,and beliefs contribute to inequitable conditions?
- What actions can I implement in my classroom/meeting spaces to align with principles of equity and justice?
