Teaching in the Diverse Classroom – One Day Workshop!

What does diversity mean in the community college classroom context?

Join Eric Davis, Interim Dean of Social Science, in this one-day interactive event exploring the role diversity plays on our campus, particularly as instructors. Topics we plan to address throughout the day include:

• The Language of Diversity—Feeling comfortable deploying terminology
• Cultural self-awareness—Understanding one’s self as a product of culture and how that
  culture influences how and what one teaches
• Cultural competency—Developing awareness of other cultures so one can interact comfortably and make learning/curriculum relevant
• Cultural Responsiveness—Shaping curriculum/courses for the diverse community college classroom – Examples of learning activities around diversity and developing pedagogies that are responsive to diverse communities – Use and examples of icebreakers in a diverse classroom
• Bridging our Classrooms—Understanding and accessing support services for our students
