Teaching with the EMPOWER Model
The EMPOWER model provides a structured framework for integrating multicultural education into your curriculum. It emphasizes creating supportive learning environments where students can develop cultural competencies without fear of judgment.
Our methodology focuses on transformative learning through disorienting dilemmas, critical reflection, and dialogue. The goal is to help students internalize cultural humility as a lifelong commitment rather than a finite achievement.
Key Teaching Principles
