During the week of August 9-13, 2021, join the CTL for a week-long teaching conference for CU Boulder faculty, graduate students and teaching staff who would like to prepare for the fall semester with a focus on equity-minded practices.听Each day's programming centers around听a theme, and will begin with a casual coffee hour conversation. There will be two daily opportunities to join interactive workshops, and each day听closes with a happy hour conversation.听
听(CUE), located at the University of Southern California, defines听equity听mindedness听as "the outlook, perspective, or mode of thinking exhibited by practitioners who call attention to patterns of inequity in student outcomes, and听are willing to assume personal and institutional responsibility听for the elimination of inequity."听Conference participants will learn how educators can take responsibility for the climate in their classrooms, employ new teaching practices that are proactively inclusive, and create spaces of belonging in their classrooms for all students.
All sessions will occur remotely, on Zoom. Participants registering for the conference听may join as many sessions as they听like. Slides and short recordings for all workshops will be available via a community Canvas course. We will not be recording the coffee or happy hours. Graduate and postdoc听attendees can receive credit toward CTL teaching certificates.听
