I was invited to speak at the OSPI April Graduation Equity Webinar featuring Partnerships for Culturally Relevant Learning. This is a record presentation for me... I did it in 30 minutes! Lol! I didn't think I could stay within the 30 minute limit. WooHoo!!

 

Partnerships for Culturally Relevant Learning

We all have blind spots. Partnerships can be an asset to reaching students where educators may not be as knowledgeable about the student’s culture. Culturally relevant learning focuses on multiple aspects of student achievement and supports students to uphold their cultural identities and develop critical perspectives that challenge societal inequities. This month we are bringing you Dr. Martina Whelshula to talk about how culturally relevant learning works in the context of a multi-tiered system of support, social emotional health, and intergenerational historical trauma.

Graduation Equity Webinars help growth minded educators and education advocates to learn from education leaders who are closing opportunity gaps. Using OSPI data and experience from Washington schools, Graduation Equity webinars reveal the systems that drive success, an equity focus, and the key strategies that are getting students to graduation.
