As Howard Zinn (2002) reminds us, “You can’t be neutral on a moving train.”

The purpose of this interactive workshop is to illustrate the ways in which a teacher inquiry process supports in-service classroom teachers to personalize learning by incorporating empowering learning experiences into their P-12 classrooms.

This interactive workshop engage teachers in several activities to explore culturally relevant pedagogy including taking a piece of curriculum and enhancing it using a rubric.
