Register for Webinar on Multicultural Education and Diversity at New York University
In the New York University (NYU) Teacher Residency (TR) program, faculty and staff believe that the best ideas, work, and results derive from collaboration. The TR program undergoes collaboratively generated and consensus-driven changes and iterations each year, all in an effort to prepare diverse cohorts of residents to teach and meet their learners’ needs. On Tuesday, May 21, from 1:00 – 1:45 p.m. ET, members are invited to learn more about this TR program by attending the AACTE Lunch & Learn, “Working Collaboratively Toward Antiracism, Equity, and Justice in EPPs.”
Winner of the AACTE 2024 Best Practice Award in Support of Multicultural Education and Diversity, NYU faculty Stacie Brensilver Berman, Ph.D., and Rachel Elizabeth Traxler, Ph.D. Candidate, will share their collaborative process for assessing the program relative to the AACTE award application prompts and provide participants with information on how faculty worked together to produce an application that highlights individual and collective expertise on admissions processes, curriculum design, assessment, and resident and partner support. Speakers will also discuss how they reflected on the TR program’s impact on the communities served and teaching and learning more broadly, to present a composite view of the multicultural work they do within their program, partnering schools, and the ways in which NYU emphasizes diversity, equity, and inclusion in their values statement and actions.
The AACTE Best Practice Award in Support of Multicultural Education and Diversity, sponsored by AACTE’s Committee on Global Diversity, recognizes the infusion of diversity throughout all components of a school, college, or department of education as critical to quality teacher preparation and professional development. Specifically, the incorporation of issues related to culture, language, demographics, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, and exceptionalities in the education process are perceived as important.
