From the classroom of Cindy Duran (SDAWP 2021)
Now is the time to build an inclusive school community. Over the next few weeks, we will share some lessons #SDAWP teachers have used to build community in their classrooms. We’d love to know how you create a safe and inclusive community in your classroom and adapt materials to meet the needs of your students. Look for more information about #USvsHate and entering your students’ voices against hate in the fall contest. Deadline is November 22, 2024.
