Opening Minds and Hearts: Assisting Classroom Teachers to Celebrate Their Diverse Learners
Unformatted Document Text:  A. Learner/participant outcomes: In a hands-on workshop setting, participants will explore strategies found effective with K-12, university and graduate students to explore their own diverse heritage and welcome that of others. Application to teaching practice will be shared within the presentation so that participants will be informed and prepared to use the information, strategies and activities in their classroom settings. B. Methods: This session is designed as a workshop in which participants will leave with clear plans to better serve diverse learners in any classroom setting. The session will open with survey data giving demographics of the graduate student participants in the study and their perceived and demonstrated attitude and behavior change throughout the program. Then session participants will receive information and demonstration of specific approaches and course-imbedded activities that effected attitude change. Case studies and artifacts will also be shared. References Burriss, K. & Burriss, L. (2004). Competency and comfort: Teacher candidates’ attitudes toward diversity.
