TCC: Sign Up for Another Free Mini-Course to Increase Your Equity Literacy

The Teaching and Creativity Center invites you to enroll in another free, self-paced mini-course offered by the Equity Literacy Institute: "Learning to Be a Threat to Inequity: Intro to Equity Literacy."

This mini-course is designed to dive deeper into the concepts touched on in the first mini-course, "Understanding Equity and Inequity (or, What the Heck[quity] is Equity?)," and it introduces a robust framework of dimensions, abilities, and guiding principles that can help each of us move from surface understanding of problems towards competency in addressing and rectifying them.

While the mini-courses are designed to be convenient for individuals to complete on their own time and in their own terms, what's learned or gained should not fade away into the voids of one's own thoughts. Please invite your department or office colleagues to take the course along with you--and establish a timeframe for doing so, as well as a mechanism for discussing how the equity literacy framework can be applied to your programs and course curricula.

This course can even serve as another step towards establishing a cohort-based inquiry project to pursue for the remainder of this year. See a previous Trib announcement regarding that.

 

If you'd appreciate any additional support or a chance to discuss the Equity Literacy Framework beyond your own department, please contact Amy Burtner.

Also, if you are interested in completing two more courses beyond the free ones, which would come with certificate status, please complete this form. We can pursue a license for our campus if there is enough faculty and staff interest. The two courses are "Racial Equity and Education: Informing Ourselves, Transforming Our Schools" and "Ditching Deficit Ideology: The First Step Toward Cultivating an Equity Commitment."
