The 7th Annual DIVAS Conference
Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Engaging and Empowering P-16 Students
The DIVAS (Distinguished, Intellectual, Virtuous, Academic Sistas) in collaboration with NCA&Teach STEM Scholars Program (NSF Proposal #1540786) are excited to announce the 7th Annual DIVAS Conference will be held at the Alumni Event Center on the campus of North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in Greensboro, NC on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
This year’s conference theme is Culturally Relevant Pedagogy: Engaging and Empowering P-16 Students.
Culturally responsive (relevant) pedagogy is a student-centered approach to teaching in which the student’s unique cultural strengths are identified and nurtured to promote student achievement and a sense of well-being about the student’s cultural place in the world. Culturally responsive pedagogy is divided into three functional dimensions: the institutional dimension, the personal dimension, and the instructional dimension.
