Tis The Season to be Included in the Classroom!
"The holiday season is a great opportunity to celebrate equity and inclusion. With a little creativity and a lot of commitment, classrooms can be places where all students belong. As educators, being aware that this time of year can also exclude students is a starting point towards building inclusion. From the emphasis on over-consumption to the assumption that all students observe Christmas, addressing inclusion begins with adopting a critical lens."
Check out these tips to be more inclusive this holiday season by Harmony Movement.
