Recording: Teaching for Linguistic and Cultural Diversity

Thank you for joining us at Teaching for Linguistic and Cultural Diversity: US Classroom Culture on October 17 2024. The recording from this event is below, and the slide deck is accessible when logged in with a Pratt email address. 

In this interactive workshop, participants discussed the culture of their classrooms in the context of cultural diversity and cultural humility. They considered aspects of US classroom culture that often get taken for granted by faculty, but that may be very unfamiliar and potentially alienating to some students. This portion was adapted from student-facing materials developed by the Office of International Affairs. In the second half, participants shared challenges and concerns they had encountered regarding language and culture in the classroom. Together, they discussed how they could design their classroom cultures in more transparent and flexible ways to welcome and support all students in the classroom community.
