Join us October 5th for a conversation and workshop on developing impactful engagements with the UCA Core Diversity learning outcomes. Do you wonder how to better facilitate “curiosity” among your students? Or maybe you’ve struggled with fostering and evaluating “empathy.” What have your colleagues been doing in the classroom? What seems to work well? For this lunch and learn session we will hear from colleagues who teach in each goal, learn about what they’ve been doing, and brainstorm ways to improve our own classroom activities.
> Goal A: Analyze one’s own cultural values and assumptions.
> Goal B: Analyze or compare diverse values, traditions, belief systems, and/or perspectives.
> Goal C: Analyze creative works within diverse contexts.
When: October 5th at 12:15 p.m.
Where: BHCC 112/114
Registration is available online.
