Introduction
To further examine the topic of developing an inclusive, safe, and positive learning environment and explain strategies or steps you may use to ensure all
students are welcome to be part of the class community and discourse, you will create a presentation that discusses stereotype threats, growth mindset, and
addressing instances of intolerance.
All students can learn when assets and learning needs are the focus of instruction. Take what you learn from the assigned resources and conduct
independent research to learn about how stereo type threats and instances of intolerance might be demonstrated in your learning environment as well as
learn about strategies that you can implement to create a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.

– One slide in which you reflect on the process of exploring this week’s topics, new learning, and your perception of your individual ability to addressstereotype-threats within your professional learning environment
– One slide that describes the concept of growth mindset

intolerance, stereotype threat, and promote growth mindset as the leader of a classroom community with diverse learners present
– Reference Slide (per APA 7th Edition guidelines)
Your presentation should be roughly 11 slides in length (one title slide, nine slides of content, and one reference slide). Note: Please keep in mind that this is
an academic presentation. As such, your presentation should be professional and creative. Include only media and graphics that are relevant (if you choose
to include them). Be sure to use appropriate design, theme, and font. While your presentation should be informative, slides shouldn’t be text-heavy; use
number and / or bullet points to deliver talking points
