A GLAD® classroom increases students' academic and linguistic success while fostering their social and emotional skills through the GLAD classroom culture. GLAD® classrooms are asset-based environments where the intentional use of best teaching practices equips teachers to elicit and honor students' voices, experiences, cultures and strengths.
