Soha Azargan and Jamie Shanley join Capital Chat to discuss the
Culturally Responsive Education Conference coming up August 6th to the 8th and Centennial Hall,
Sealaska Heritage’s eighth culturally responsive education conference. This event provides educators and administrators with a deep understanding of culturally responsive education and equips them to transform their classrooms, pedagogy, and curriculum to fully support all students’ success—especially those who have been historically underserved, disenfranchised, and marginalized by colonized systems.
Educators, administrators, university faculty, and community members are all welcome and encouraged to attend. Attendees will find engaging and informative sessions to support their thinking around culturally-responsive and sustaining pedagogies for K–12 and university settings, critical theory, place-based education, and possibilities for indigenizing curriculum and building safe social environments for all learners.
The conference is scheduled August 6-8, and will be offered in person at Centennial Hall in downtown Juneau, Alaska, with featured elements available virtually. The theme of this year’s event is Strength in Unity: Innovating Together for Culturally Responsive Education.
