Introduction
To further examine the topic of developing an inclusive, safe, and positive learning environment and explain strategies or steps you may use to ensure all students are welcome to be part of the class community and discourse, you will create a presentation that discusses stereotype threats, growth mindset, and addressing instances of intolerance.
All students can learn when assets and learning needs are the focus of instruction. Take what you learn from the assigned resources and conduct independent research to learn about how stereo type threats and instances of intolerance might be demonstrated in your learning environment as well as learn about strategies that you can implement to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.
