About the Event
Committee members Gerry Yokota and Terry Tuttle of JALT's DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Committee) will lead this workshop to learn about microaggressions: what they are and how to transform them into opportunities for growth and connection in the classroom, in the workspace, and in other professional situations. We will begin with a basic introduction to the concept of microaggressions and provide models of fundamental strategies for intervention, with ample time for Q&A. Attendees will then be invited to engage in groups with scenarios based on typical situations encountered in diverse work environments. Attendees are encouraged to bring examples of guidelines and codes of conduct from their own schools and workplaces for critical examination.
