TCC: Final Reminder to Prepare for Next Week's Conversation on Equity

How have you been doing with the free mini-course offered by the Equity Literacy Institute, "Understanding Equity and Inequity (or, What the Heck-uity is Equity?)"?

If you'll be joining us on Friday, October 23, from 12:00-1:00 PM for the second TCC Conversation of the semester, we're asking that you come having completed the mini-course ahead of time. That's because the format will be a 'flipped classroom' one, so our time together can be one where we start with solid footing on basic concepts, and leave feeling more sure about how those concepts relate to own work at MCC. [See the original Trib announcement from Sept. 21, 2020, for more explanation.]

This Zoom session will not be recorded. Please keep that in mind if something else that will be recorded happens to be scheduled at the same time. Materials and additional resources will, however, be placed into a folder inside the TCC's Bb space, and we will promote additional professional development opportunities (both in mini- and full-course format) throughout this academic year.

All faculty and professional staff are welcome.

**To ensure you can get into the Zoom without login problems, please first verify that you are logged into Zoom through the single sign-on MCC account portal. If you are not, or if you have no idea if you are, go to https://monroecommunity.zoom.us
