Outside the Box, Behind the Screen: Connecting to Students through Cultural Artifacts

The Global Classroom team is excited to announce  this upcoming workshop for educators! 

Outside the Box, Behind the Screen: Connecting to Students through Cultural Artifacts
Tuesday, November 10, 4–6 pm (PST)
via Zoom

Cultural artifacts are objects, or realia, from daily life, that reflect the beliefs, values, and assumptions that make us who we are. In this workshop, you’ll explore realia from WorldOregon’s Culture Box program and see how they can help you learn about your students while teaching about the world. The Culture Boxes include primary sources that develop students’ observational skills, increase curiosity about the world, and provide conversation starters to build community in your classroom, whether you are teaching remotely or in person.

This workshop will address the following Culturally Relevant Teaching practices:

• Knowing Your Students: Learn how race, language, culture, gender, and class shape students’ beliefs and expectations about learning.
• Capitalizing on Student Expertise: Learn about students’ cultural capital and the strengths and experiences they bring into the classroom.

Cost: $15
PDUs: 2 (for Oregon and Washington public school teachers)
