In this session, we will explore the importance of creating a diverse, inclusive library so our students can see themselves reflected in the texts they read. We will also explore ways we can facilitate conversations about diversity, equity, and social justice and challenge stereotypes through storytelling.
Asset Based Teaching, Changing Perceptions to Create a Sense of Belonging
Dr. Ilene Winokur (She/Her) @IleneWinokur
Audience: K-12
Pessimists believe the glass is half empty, optimists say it’s half full, but the glass can be refilled. How does changing our perception of learners from deficit (glass half-empty) to asset (glass can be refilled) improve how we teach and how students perceive themselves? Participants will learn how an asset-based mindset supports a sense of self-belonging that is essential to learning and achievement.
