PARTI: Practical, Anti-Racist, Teaching Institute
Come Join the PARTI!
(a Practical, Anti-Racist, Teaching Institute)
Transform your classroom into a joyful, equitable, learning-centered space for yourself
and students, a place where our community’s hopes and dreams are recognized and cultivated!
Program and Area Review data reveals that every division can do much more to support Black and Brown students who have been historically and systematically marginalized. Our communities are facing intensified racialized and genderized violence, attacks on human rights and a challenging educational landscape. As a response to these challenges, the state chancellor will be introducing new policies regarding culturally responsive teaching standards. It is an exciting time to come together in solidarity to transform our institution and shift our teaching practices.
We invite you to deepen your journey to learn about and implement anti-racist teaching practices. The institute is the space to interrogate your teaching practice and stretch your thinking, so that our Black and Brown students will thrive and flourish in your classroom.
Purpose:
- Pedagogical onboarding for new faculty and recentering for continuing faculty
- Understand, apply and design anti-racist, accessible, culturally responsive teaching practices, including curriculum, policies, and assessments
- Uplift the excellence and counternarratives within BIPOC and LGBQT communities.
- Support faculty to implement culturally responsive teaching practices by offering avenues of accountability.
- Develop leadership around anti-racist & culturally responsive teaching practices.
Details:
- We will meet 1st and 3rd Wednesdays (on campus) from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm.
- We are aiming for 25 participants, with a combination of newly-hired, tenure track faculty and faculty who have been at Chabot.
- You will have access to a Canvas site to support your learning.
- You will be supported to complete a variety of practical products related to syllabi, lessons, and assessment.
- We hope to be able to compensate faculty who participate fully and submit all associated work products.
