SUMMARY:Replay of Part 5 - From Vision to Action: Let's Create Inclusive Classrooms\, Campuses\, and Communities (Summer 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis practical workshop will introduce innovative approaches and tools\, such as person-centered thinking and human-centered design\, that can be used to improve access and meaningful inclusion of people with disabilities and others historically left out of systems design. Examples of inclusive design to be shared include an inclusive syllabus template and the story of how schools are opening their doors to students with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We will end the workshop in small groups to practice applying these new tools to redesign an aspect of a Minnesota State classroom\, campus\, or community to make it more inclusive of all minds and bodies. \n\nDisability Justice Workshop Series\nThis webinar is part of the Disability Justice Workshop Series originally offered in 2022. This is a facilitated replay of the recorded session. \nThe Disability Justice Workshop Series introduces the concept of disability justice – a framework that examines disability and ableism as it relates to other forms of oppression and identity – and contextualizes it in U.S. history and current social justice work\, with the goal of fostering a more just and inclusive Minnesota State community. These five interactive sessions are centered on the leadership and advice of people with disabilities\, including Minnesota State students. Too often disability justice is erased in social justice talk and work. This workshop series addresses that silencing and attempts to destigmatize and reframe disability\, celebrating the richness and variety found in human minds and bodies. The world would be a dull place if we all looked\, acted\, thought\, spoke\, and moved in the same way. As a community\, we gain a lot by learning from people with disabilities of varied cultural backgrounds and lived experience. This series gives everybody time to learn\, reflect\, and plan for a future that is inclusive of all people.  \nRegister for other events in the series: \n\nDisability Justice: Why It’s Everybody’s Business\nRacial Justice & Disability Justice: Working Together to Free Our Minds and Bodies\nNew Ways to Talk about Disability\nExperience Is Our Teacher: People with Disabilities on Allyship\, Advocacy\, and Pride\n\nAll recorded sessions are available on the Minnesota State Office of Equity and Inclusion webpage. \nRSVP Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:Replay of Part 3 - New Ways to Talk about Disability (Summer 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Description\nPeople often talk about disability in outdated ways because they have never had to question it. Such ableist language\, however\, is rooted in the ongoing trauma experienced by many people with disabilities. In fact\, our outdated language grew out of what are called the “pity” and “medical” disability models or frames. This workshop aims to give us a safe space to reflect on what such models did to misshape our ideas about disability and to offer us new models. We will learn from disability activists about new ways to talk that centers disability as a natural part of the human experience. \n\nDisability Justice Workshop Series\nThis webinar is part of the Disability Justice Workshop Series originally offered in 2022. This is a facilitated replay of that recorded session. \nThe Disability Justice Workshop Series introduces the concept of disability justice – a framework that examines disability and ableism as it relates to other forms of oppression and identity – and contextualizes it in U.S. history and current social justice work\, with the goal of fostering a more just and inclusive Minnesota State community.

SUMMARY:Replay of Part 2 - Racial Justice and Disability Justice: Working Together to Free Our Minds and Bodies (Summer 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Description\nWe will discuss the compound impact of intersections between racism and ableism within US society and why this intersect is so rarely discussed in social justice. We’ll hear from key figures who work in racial and/or disability justice and think about how their ideas overlap or could overlap. Lastly\, we’ll talk about what social justice might look if we listened to (rather than silenced or erased) our leaders with intersectional identities. \n\nDisability Justice Workshop Series\nThis webinar is part of the Disability Justice Workshop Series originally offered in 2022. This is a facilitated replay of that recorded session. \nThe Disability Justice Workshop Series introduces the concept of disability justice – a framework that examines disability and ableism as it relates to other forms of oppression and identity – and contextualizes it in U.S. history and current social justice work\, with the goal of fostering a more just and inclusive Minnesota State community. These five interactive sessions are centered on the leadership and advice of people with disabilities\, including Minnesota State students. Too often disability justice is erased in social justice talk and work. This workshop series addresses that silencing and attempts to destigmatize and reframe disability\, celebrating the richness and variety found in human minds and bodies. The world would be a dull place if we all looked\, acted\, thought\, spoke\, and moved in the same way. As a community\, we gain a lot by learning from people with disabilities of varied cultural backgrounds and lived experience. This series gives everybody time to learn\, reflect\, and plan for a future that is inclusive of all people.  \nRegister for other events in the series: \n\nDisability Justice: Why It’s Everybody’s Business\nNew Ways to Talk about Disability\nExperience Is Our Teacher: People with Disabilities on Allyship\, Advocacy\, and Pride\nFrom Vision to Action: Let’s Create Inclusive Classrooms\, Campuses\, & Communities\n\nAll recorded sessions are available on the Minnesota State Office of Equity and Inclusion webpage. \nRSVP Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:Replay of Part 1 - Disability Justice: Why It's Everybody's Business (Summer 2024)

SUMMARY:Mid-Career Magic: How Culturally Responsive Teaching Can Keep Us Afloat: Fall 2023
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve spent a decade or two in the classroom\, you’ve likely settled into a good groove. You know what you’re doing. You’ve seen a lot of stuff. You’ve made it through a global pandemic. Congratulations! Despite all this hard-won wisdom\, however\, you might also feel tired. Maybe a little concerned about your students and the changes you’ve seen in them over the years. Maybe even a little bored. You’re not alone! In this discussion-based webinar\, we will look at the challenges we face as mid-career instructors and how Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) might help spur the curiosity about where our subjects and our students’ experiences intersect. According to Madeline Will and Ileana Najarro in Education Week\, “Culturally responsive teaching means using students’ customs\, characteristics\, experience\, and perspectives as tools for better classroom instruction.” What does the emergence of CRT mean for an instructor with a decade or even two’s worth of experience in the classroom? \n\nRSVP Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register. \n\nAfter registering\, a calendar invite with details on how to join will be sent to you\, please add this event to your calendar. \nAccommodations: If you require accommodations (live captioning\, etc.) to participate in this event\, please send an email to the person at the bottom of this page. \n\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator Kelli Hallsten Erickson.

SUMMARY:Equity Reviewer Training for Funding Opportunities
