AB ED Decolonizing Teacher Practice
As educators within the current day education system, we need to disrupt and interrupt the dominant narrative of the western colonial system. In order for us to disrupt we need to unlearn and relearn. Within this interactive workshop we will be unpacking how the western colonial education system has shaped and formed our understanding of education and give you tools that will support your teaching practice in decolonizing education.
