Beyond Conversation: An Action-Centered Approach to Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom

Thursday, August 29, 2024 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. Central

How can educators ensure that activities centered on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the classroom are meaningful for students? It's important that these activities don't just check a box. Students should be provided with meaningful experiences to help them develop into thoughtful citizens. This webinar highlights Madisonville Community College’s approach to DEI in the classroom, blended with a Student Learning Outcome process and action research. Through this process, instructors from a wide range of disciplines (i.e., general education, technical programs, health programs, and more) have incorporated DEI into the classroom in meaningful and measurable ways. Sign Up

Equity and Human-Centered Design for Single-Mother Learner Engagement

Thursday, September 12, 2024 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. Central

Approximately 1.7 million undergraduate students are single-mother learners. Yet, they are rarely the focus of campus programming. While more campuses are turning their focus to supporting single mothers toward completion, single-mother learners need comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that can lead to long-term, family-sustaining careers. This webinar explores how campuses can apply human-centered design to develop learner-centric programs and partnerships that address the specific needs and motivations of single mothers and other student parents. Drawing from the experience of the Single Moms Success Design Challenge, this session shares new models that seek to dramatically boost education outcomes for single-mother learners and connect them to academic and career pathways that improve their families’ economic mobility and well-being. Sign Up
