This action-packed interactive presentation will demonstrate how rigorous activities using cultural relevance empowers students to become aware of their own learning and take ownership of HOW and WHY they view the world as they do, thus becoming cognizant of the world around them. The end result will be global citizens who see learning as a shared process, not a personal product. Through stimulating the mind of the students of today, teachers will learn how culturally relevant teaching is crucial to seeing change, being the change, and making change to create the leaders of tomorrow. That is, if you B.E.L.I.E.V.E!
