Power and Empowerment: Honoring By Decision and Design

Equitable and inclusive learning environments are built on the choices of individuals. This keynote will explore the notions of power and empowerment that are made evident in our decisions, our designs and our outcomes. With antiracism and Universal Design for Learning we can begin inviting every voice to powerful positions by honoring identity, culture, and learning needs.
Participants will:

• Explore the definitions of honor and power
• Evaluate power filled choices and examine the implications of power in equitable access to learning.
• Begin co-creating a community of educators who are conscious of how to use power to honor learners.
