Participate and share: Poster 
Join us for an enlightening session on leveraging the NEIR Model to create inclusive and equitable learning environments. The NEIR Model, which stands for Normalize, Educate, Include, and Reflect, provides a comprehensive framework for educators to foster an atmosphere where all students feel valued, empowered, and able to thrive academically and socially. In this session, participants will gain a deeper understanding of each component of the NEIR Model and how they can be effectively applied in an engineering and robotics classroom.
Attendees will explore practical techniques to actively include all students in the learning process, ensuring equitable access to resources, opportunities, and support. Additionally, participants will discover the power of reflection as a means to continuously assess and improve their practices, ensuring ongoing growth in creating equitable learning environments.
By the end of this session, educators will be equipped with tangible tools, resources, and actionable insights to implement the NEIR Model in their classrooms. Join us and take a significant step towards cultivating a classroom environment that celebrates diversity, promotes equity, and empowers all students to reach their full potential.
