Faculty and presenters: Do you like the examples you use in your courses and presentations to be engaging, current, and relevant?

Personas are short stories about a child and family. Each persona offers information about the unique composition of the family, details about the child (name, age, likes, dislikes), and insights about who the child is as a learner. When access to diverse children and families disappeared during the pandemic, the personas were developed to provide “access” to children who are diverse in culture, language, ability, likes/dislikes, learning styles, and life circumstances. Now personas are being used to support engagement, learning, and applications connected to a wide variety of topics, including supporting dual language learners, individualizing for the needs of each and every child, and using culturally responsive practices.
