E51: Reshaping nursing pedagogy to integrate Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)

“Recognize that unlearning is the highest form of learning.” – Rumi 

Liz Cernigoy, chair of Lethbridge College's nursing program, and nursing instructor Danielle Aitkens expand on the recent effort to rebuild the college’s nursing curriculum with a focus on EDI. The pair explore ideas around how we teach, and how students learn so that more learning styles can be accommodated.  

By teaching from a place of humility, Liz and Danielle hope to graduate students who will not only flourish as professionals and affect positive changes in their communities, but also recognize their inherent biases, and stretch their thinking as they grow and evolve as people.
