Valuing Diversity and Appreciating Differences (2-part series)
Series Overview
The goal of this 2-part series is to raise awareness about the diversity in adult education using two different lenses: a.) through a model of cross-cultural paradigms; and b.) through the eyes of students with learning challenges. At the end of this 2-part series, participants will gain an appreciation of the differences among staff and students and reflect on what their new learning/insights compel them to change and how they plan to implement them into their own practice.
