Upcoming Events

In this session, a panel of faculty and staff will discuss ways that they have applied the knowledge or skills developed via this series of workshops about centering international and multilingual students.

The Group Discussions are designed to offer participants of the Teaching in Globally Diverse Classes Certificate Program opportunities to meet and talk with facilitators and fellow participants. Aside from establishing broad focus areas, these small-group discussions are largely unstructured.

Learning and using students’ names, and encouraging students to do the same with each other, is essential for building community in your class. There are many creative ways to encourage students to learn and use names. In this 30-minute session, we will experience two simple activities and discuss others.

Experience an activity that is especially valuable for fostering rapport among students from diverse cultural backgrounds. During this 30-minute webinar, we will model and discuss effective facilitation strategies for how you can help your students "find common ground."

Learn one approach for establishing class or group agreements and expectations. Establishing class or group agreements and expectations sets a tone for the course that reinforces intentionality and collaborative decision-making processes, and the idea that the classroom learning environment is something we all contribute to, are responsible for, and can influence. Making these explicit and clear for yourself and for students is important for all members of the class, and even more so for students who may be new to U.S. classrooms and educational practices in higher education.
