<div><font face="Times" color="#000000">Multicultural education
happens on a number of levels within the classroom<br>
(climate/environment, content and pedagogy) as well as beyond the
classroom (living spaces, organizations, etc). To work towards
creating and sustaining a more inclusive classroom environment, the
Dean of Faculty Office has been offering faculty development
workshops. These workshops focus on furthering the awareness,
knowledge, and skills of faculty to better enable them to incorporate
and address issues of diversity in the classroom; and to better serve
students.<br>
<br>
The first workshop revolved around the multiple identities and group
affiliations the faculty brings to the classroom. The second
focused on individual case studies. For this final workshop, we
would like to facilitate a conversation with students and faculty on
the topic of diversity in the classroom.<br>
<br>
Based on input from students, faculty and staff, the
conversation's focus is:<br>
</font><font face="Symbol" color="#000000">®</font><font
face="Times" color="#000000"><b> Positive or successful teaching
moments/ classes<br>
<br>
</b>The first part of the workshop will concentrate on what do
students/faculty feel good about what they are doing in their
classrooms. What is an affirming experience? In thinking
about positive moments, we will need to discuss what didn't work so
well and what are some challenges.<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Symbol" color="#000000">®</font><font
face="Times" color="#000000"><b> What next?<br>
</b>"During lunch, we will brainstorm together on what to do next
year to continue building a more inclusive classroom environment.<br>
<br>
In preparation for the workshop, two highly recommended readings are
the second chapter from<b> Other People's Children</b> by Lisa
Delpit and the last chapter from<b> Political Moments in the
Classroom</b> by Margaret Himley et al. <br>
<br>
Light lunch will be served. To obtain the readings and to have
an accurate lunch count, please contact Jackie Jeffery in DOF at
