Theme: A framework for decolonising the curriculum
Convenor/s: International Schools SIG
Speaker
Esther Bettney Heidt
Drawing on research conducted with international schools, Dr. Esther Bettney Heidt will propose her Decolonizing International Multilingual Education (DIME) framework, a tool to support schools as they consider how to approach language from a critical, decolonial lens. The framework includes an introduction to relevant, decolonial theory, as well as practical application of theory through reflective questions and possible actions for educators to consider as they engage in decolonizing work within their own particular context.
