Have you struggled to find time and energy to explore the DE&I toolkit? 

Would you benefit from the support of campus multicultural leaders while considering the toolkit materials? Do you feel a sense of urgency to support our students who feel marginalized? Do you value ongoing personal and professional growth to support the success of all students? Are you interested in developing your cultural competency in a collaborative and formative way? Do you enjoy hanging out and talking with your colleagues about teaching?

Please come to the Center for Learning & Teaching for a relaxed coffee break with your colleagues titled: Exploring the DE&I Toolkit Round-Table Discussion. Full-time and part-time faculty members from all the divisions are welcome to join the conversation at any time throughout the semester. We hope you will join us for these important discussions, a light snack, and the opportunity to strengthen connections within the Champlain College community!

The first discussion will take place on February 7th from 11am-12pm in MIC 219, Center for Learning & Teaching! This stand-alone meetings will invite faculty to gain a basic understanding of the resources available in the toolkit and talk about their understanding of DE&I. The CLT will provide a copy of the article, How to Talk about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion by Alida Miranda-Wolff, a list of campus resources, and a graphic outlining the topics covered in the toolkit.

Do you value your student's feedback? Do you wish to be able to better prepare them to be effective evaluators? 
Asking for feedback can be intimidating or make us feel vulnerable at times. However, it is one of the best ways for us to improve our teaching craft. Teaching students to be effective evaluators and regularly checking in with them about your methods and their understanding can create a strong teaching and learning community. Midterm Feedback is positively related to improved teaching and leads to higher student ratings at the end of the term! Please join us for a faculty round-table discussion about the importance of feedback and how to teach them to be effective evaluators of your class as well as your colleagues'! 

Please join us in the Center for Learning & Teaching for a relaxed discussion with your colleagues titled: Timely Teaching Tips: Midterm Assessment. Full-time and part-time faculty members from all the divisions are welcome, and we hope you will join us for these important discussions, a light snack, and the opportunity to strengthen connections within the Champlain College community!
