This presentation discusses the importance of affirming students' culture through the IEP process. Since culture impacts student achievement, it is critical that culturally specific accommodations anchor instructional practices. The presentation includes the use of a checklist to address learning preferences and how content is communicated so equitable education can be realized.
Participants will be able to:
Identify components of a culturally responsive IEP.
Construct an IEP Goal that reflects the strengths of the child's home language and cultural differences to address the needs of the child.
Identify accommodations that take into account the unique learning preferences and how content is communicated.
