Sustaining EDI efforts in classrooms: Activist Pedagogies for Advancing Equitable Outcomes
The pursuit of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) remains a steadfast commitment for many organizations, however, some may be struggling to back that commitment up with actions that create meaningful change. Join the Mitch and Leslie Frazer Faculty of Education for a thought-provoking ‘community class’, facilitated by Dr. Ardavan Eizadirad, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at Wilfrid Laurier University, focusing on ‘Sustaining EDI Efforts in Classrooms – Activist Pedagogies for Advancing Equitable Outcomes’.
The presentation will delve into the dynamic intersection of activism and education, exploring what it means to be an educator-activist, what this means for educators and administrators as part of the school-community ecosystem, and how authentic pedagogical strategies can drive sustainable EDI progress. We'll embark on a journey to explore strategies that facilitate supporting students, families, and communities through the lens of risk and protective factors to mitigate systemic barriers to advance equitable outcomes. By harnessing activist methods of teaching, we can ignite critical conversations, challenge systemic biases, and nurture inclusive communities. This class will equip you with practical insights, actionable strategies, and real-world examples to bolster your EDI efforts.
