PCI Webinar: Making Inclusion Visible in the Classroom and at the library

As the world becomes more diverse, it's crucial that we recognize and celebrate differences. Inclusion is a term thrown around a lot these days, but what does it really mean? It means creating environments where everyone feels welcome, represented, and valued. And this includes our classrooms and libraries! Join us as we explore ways to make inclusion visible in these spaces so that all learners can thrive. From cultural celebrations to accessible resources, let's ensure that every student feels seen and heard.

Inclusion is important in the classroom and at the library because it helps create a sense of belonging for all students. When all students feel like they are part of the community, they are more likely to succeed academically and socially. Inclusion also promotes respect for diversity and teaches students to value others' perspectives.

The library is a great place to model inclusionary practices. By making sure that all students have access to the same resources and materials, we can help create an environment where everyone feels welcome. By providing a variety of books and materials that represent diverse cultures and experiences, we can help students learn about and appreciate the world around them.
