Next Dinner on Wednesday, April 19 has been cancelled
Dr. Massing will share her research will be moved to the FALL.
The Lived Experiences of Immigrant Women in Teacher Preparation Programs.
At a time when Canada extends the ‘welcome mat’ to new citizens from all over the world, bringing with them a wide range of beliefs, values and knowledges, the firsthand experiences of new immigrants’ immersion in Canadian culture is a ‘story worth telling.’ Join us in the telling of one of these stories, from the perspective of immigrant and refugee women enrolled in an early-childhood teacher education program, on the challenges of their exposure to authoritative institutional discourses to their personal beliefs, values and assumptions.
Dr. Christine Massing will present the findings from her award-winning doctoral research and engage audience members in discerning and reflecting on the tacit biases and traditional notions that underlie our teaching theories and prevailing methodologies and to reconsider how we can render them more inclusive and thereby better accommodate the increasing diversity of teachers and students in our schools.
