Care Culture and Safe Spaces for (In)visible Youth

Description:

The stories of some student populations, including their challenges and successes, have been historically overlooked by the education system. Led by experts with lived experience, this session addresses how students and educators can collaborate to create safe classroom spaces. With a special focus on children with incarcerated parents and LGBTQ students, educators will learn and exchange strategies to address bias, create a care culture, and facilitate difficult conversations in a safe space.
