What’s it about?
In this talk, I delve into the profound ways our communities can impact educational environments, drawing from my own journey as an immigrant girl finding her place in a new world to a passionate educator and mother. I share stories and insights on bridging the cultural gaps in our classrooms, the importance of inclusive representation, and practical ways every one of us can contribute to a classroom's cultural richness.
Who is Michelle Singh?
Michelle Singh is an award-winning education consultant and author who helps educators bridge cultural gaps and build stronger relationships with their students.
As CEO of LCT-E Learning Solutions™, Singh helps educators develop culturally responsive instructional methods that result in addressing the unique learning needs of students, specifically students from diverse cultural backgrounds. LCT-E also embraces digital tools for enhancing instructional dynamics and as an integral part of improving educational accessibility.
Her own experiences as a young student served as the catalyst for her 20-year career as an educator. After immigrating to the U.S. from Jamaica at the age of 9, Singh initially struggled to acclimate to the U.S. public school system. This formative experience set the stage for her relentless drive to ensure the needs of minority students are not only being met, but that their gifts are being cultivated.
