Expectations
This professional development opportunity has two main parts:
- Three 90-minute virtual Zoom meetings to discuss how the experiences and perspectives in this book relate to our students.
- D2L Brightspace course to explore issues related to trauma and how to prepare our campuses to better serve students who have experienced trauma. The “course” will use short, asynchronous, interactive activities to help us explore how we can better serve our students, connect across the system, and share resources.
Participate in as much or as little as you’d like or your schedules allow! For example, you can:
-
- complete some or all of the D2L Brightspace activities and not join the online meetings
- attend some or all of the online meetings and not participate in the D2L Brightspace course
- join us even if you have not read the book to learn with colleagues!
The systemwide book group is an opportunity to learn about a topic that affects our students and create action plans to create more equitable learning opportunities for students on our campuses and to eliminate the equity gap by 2030.
