TCC: Reminder to Prepare for the Oct. 23 Conversation about 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, please remember that the format will be a 'flipped classroom' one, based on some work to do ahead of time.

The pre-work is a free, self-paced, mini-course offered by the Equity Literacy Institute founded by Paul Gorski: "Understanding Equity and Inequity (or, What the Heck-uity is Equity?)" [You will need to register with the Institute to begin the mini-course.]

The mini-course will take about 4 hours overall, and does not need to happen all in one sitting. There is plenty of time between now and the 23rd to get it done. Completing this mini-course on your own time will ensure that our time together is one where everyone is more or less on the same page concept-wise so that we can engage in active conversation, and apply those concepts to our own situations here at MCC.

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.
