How can we create meaningful relationships with students in spite of our own preconceived expectations and stereotypes?  How can educators design curriculum that pushes beyond student labels?  This conversation will explore multiculturalism in the classroom, and its implications for learning.","Description":"As two individuals who are conscious of our social and cultural differences, we are interested in discussing how you get to a relationship as two individuals regardless of being \"my black student\" or \"my white physics teacher\".","Link":[],"Audience":["All School Levels"],"Practice":"The presenters and participants will all be involved in a reading- and activity-based discussion from which we will develop a core set of ideas and values about student-teacher interactions.
