Culturally responsive educators are sensitive to diversity in the classroom. Teachers must reflect on their personal assumptions and biases. However, what are the characteristics of a culturally responsive education professional? What evidence-based strategies are available to foster a healthy classroom culture/climate to ensure success for ALL learners? This webinar will support the facilitation of a highly "inclusive" environment for ALL learners through the development of a classroom culture as well as climate that embraces and embeds cultural competency through instruction. After this webinar, you will be able to: 

1) Identify characteristics of a culturally responsive educator. 

2) Isolate learning environment components that support students’ emotional health. 

3) Acquire strategies for daily instructional use. 

4) Develop an Action Plan to promote a culturally responsive classroom.
