Family and culture play an intricate role not only in methods of communicating, but also in shaping the way we think and interact with others. Today, education goes far beyond focusing on literacy and mathematics. Educators that acknowledge, incorporate, and celebrate the whole child can provide access to a world many may view as impossible. As educators we must use and find the best practices for reaching all students and families to provide emotional and technical support, compassion, and encouragement as we partner in facilitating learning at both home and school. Using the Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework, this workshop will tap into actionable steps educators can take to provide access for all students and their families.
