Speaker
, Research and Educational Consultant; Doctoral Student, University of British Columbia


Description
This practical, skills-based workshop draws on the work of the MOSAIC (Making Socially-Accepting, Inclusive Classrooms) Approach. The workshop provides educational practitioners with an overview of how educators can positively influence peer dynamics and peers’ social devaluation, exclusionary behaviours, and reputational bias. Workshop participants will leave with a set of strategies that can be applied in their particular contexts to promote a culture of kindness, empathy and inclusive behaviours.
