Description
In this presentation, I hope to help instructors learn new skills to bring inclusion and a sense of belonging into their classrooms through poetry. Poetry is an amazing tool as an introduction to more creative styles of writing, while also giving students a way to express their ideas, feelings, and culture in a unique, personal way. My hope is to encourage educators to try incorporating more poetry into their curriculum as a way to provide a welcoming and supportive environment.
