This webinar is free and open to the public.

A 2021 study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology found that teachers who practiced cultural humility in their classrooms reported a 20% increase in students' sense of belonging and participation, especially among minority students. 

Research has shown that cultural humility can significantly impact the creation of inclusive educational spaces. In this webinar, participants will learn how to harness the power of cultural humility to better support diverse students and families. We will explore the core principles of cultural humility, focusing on self-reflection, understanding power dynamics, and embracing a mindset of continuous learning. Discover why shifting from a cultural competence emphasis to a cultural humility framework is essential for fostering authentic connections, honoring diverse perspectives, and addressing systemic biases.

In this webinar you will: 

  • Understand the core principles of cultural humility and its impact on supporting diverse students and families.
  • Learn the importance of shifting from cultural competence to cultural humility for fostering authentic connections and addressing systemic biases.
  • Develop skills in self-reflection and recognizing power dynamics to better honor diverse perspectives.
  • Gain actionable strategies for integrating cultural humility into lesson planning, classroom management, and daily interactions to create inclusive learning environments.
