Jaizi Abedania
In this presentation, I will share my experience teaching diverse and historically underrepresented youth in San Francisco, Seattle, East Palo Alto, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Harlem, & Long Island NY. I hope to engage conversation about the ways we, as a community of educators, can adapt our skills to an ever-expanding range of learning modalities, across and between disparate groups of learners. We will also look at the work of a few revolutionary artist-educators, as inspiration for our own creativity and pedagogy!
