Other Professional Development Opportunities
  • Instructor Webinar Series: Teaching with Blackboard from Basics to Advanced. In September, Blackboard is offering a series of free webinars "to help with getting the most out of teaching with Blackboard Learn and Collaborate." More details about the webinars as well as registration information is available at https://go.blackboard.com/Instructor-webinar-series. 
  • Anti-Racist Pedagogy in Community-Engaged Teaching (virtual symposium). “On September 20 from 11:00am to 4:00pm, the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education and Campus Compact will host this event bringing together scholars from across the nation to explore how we can embed anti-racist teaching practices and course design in courses connecting our students with our larger communities. A centerpiece of the symposium is the work of a consortium of faculty from four Massachusetts universities who collaborated to articulate 21 principles of anti-racist pedagogy in community-engaged courses and then drew on these principles in a series of faculty development workshops across their four campuses. They will be joined by a set of national leaders discussing how these principles resonate with their own work, by a team of facilitators who have guided two national Anti-Racist Communities of Practice, and by a team of faculty and community leaders exploring how these principles connect to place-based community-engaged research.” Please register at https://events.compact.org/anti-racist-symposium/1454147?i=atEXw3DuL-VMACo7ihGTrrSR8cYIsy3x.
Upcoming Webinars of Interest
  • Combatting AAPI Racism and Increasing AAPI Leadership in Higher Education (INSIGHT into Diversity webinar series) on Monday, September 20th at 1:00pm EST. “As colleges prepare to fully reopen this fall, campus leadership needs to be prepared to confront potential acts of hate and violence against the AAPI community, including students and employees. AAPI people have commonly been named “the model minority” in the United States, a persistent myth that alienates them from other communities of color and beyond. Our panelists will share strategies for addressing racism towards the AAPI community as we have all witnessed across the country in recent months. In addition, AAPI people remain underrepresented in leadership positions at U.S. colleges and universities, according to the American Council on Education. Our panelists include AAPI professionals whose careers have taken them to top positions in higher education. They will discuss the role that current leaders can play in supporting institutional practices and policies that can increase AAPI achievement and promotion.” Registration is available at https://www.insightintodiversity.com/insight-to-host-webinar-on-combating-aapi-racism-in-higher-education/.
  • Leadership as an Anti-Racist Practice (Leading for Change) on Tuesday, September 21 from 1:30pm to 3:00pm EST. As part of the Fall 2021 REJI Summit, all campus members are welcome to attend the keynote talk by Dr. Estela Bensimon. Register at https://bridgew.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8CUth6O6zoOUt26.
