Identifying Diversity And Committing To Inclusivity In The Online Classroom, Holly Farley, Jacy Ghast Oct 2020

Identifying Diversity And Committing To Inclusivity In The Online Classroom, Holly Farley, Jacy Ghast

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

In a traditional classroom, diversity can be considered an asset if the instructor recognizes the value in the varied backgrounds of students, and leverage this through intentional pedagogies that improve success for all. Can traditional pedagogies be transferred to the online classroom? Creating a community in the online classroom can be challenging, especially with online courses moving to accelerated 5-8 week formats and eliminating synchronous activities. Often it is a struggle to facilitate a face-to-face classroom with an open culture that fosters exchange of ideas and different perspectives. In a face-to-face classroom faculty can directly ask questions and attempt to …


Integrating Literacy And Literature Within Lgbtq+-Based Curricula, John H. Bickford Oct 2020

Integrating Literacy And Literature Within Lgbtq+-Based Curricula, John H. Bickford

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

I report how children’s and young adult non-fiction and fiction books (mis)represent lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual (hereafter, LGBTQ+) themes and people. I have published research on LGBTQ+ representations within books for elementary children as well as for high school students. I have also explored patterns of book challenges (challenges are registered complaints that have the intent to ban the books) by parents and citizens resistant to the inclusion of LGBTQ+ themes and people within literature in schools and local libraries. I use separate examples for high school and elementary by integrating literacy tasks …

Disrupting Norms To Increase Diversity Of Teacher Candidates: Restraining Forces For Junior Faculty, Cori More, Jennifer Buchter, Jennifer Stringfellow

This presentation includes an introduction and discussion of a manuscript, Disrupting Norms to Increase Diversity of Teacher Candidates: Restraining Forces for Junior Faculty, recently published in the Journal of Culture and Values in Education.

Striking A Match To Institutional Bridges: Co-Conspiring To Overcome Barriers To Dei Work, Alex Berry, Clarice Thomas

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

At the height of national civil unrest, demands for justice can be heard over the silence of institutional racism. Two student affairs professionals co-conspire to address the need for equity and inclusion work at their community college. Using their respective theoretical frameworks, the presenters discuss their efforts to change institutional requirements for diversity coursework and professional development for faculty and staff. The presentation will highlight the college context of resistance, and changes that have been implemented in the most recent academic year. This session has implications for administrators and faculty members and will offer suggestions for others to engage in …


Intersectionality As A Framework To Develop Best Practices To Improve Access To Higher Education For Marginalized Groups, Danielle Bank, Manu Kaur, Pat Somers Oct 2020

Intersectionality As A Framework To Develop Best Practices To Improve Access To Higher Education For Marginalized Groups, Danielle Bank, Manu Kaur, Pat Somers

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

The Combahee River Collective (1986) may have been one of the first groups to describe the complex interrelationships among social influences that overlap, intersect, converge and combine to directly and indirectly affect the lives of individuals and the groups to which they belong. Later theorists and activists (Cooper, 2017; Crenshaw, 2006; Hooks, 1994) have elaborated on the nature of these social forces which include race, ethnicity, class, religion, gender, sexuality, ability status, national/citizenship status, age, and others. Examining the ways that these social forces limit or advance the life decisions and opportunities of individuals and their social groups sheds light …


Educator Self-Care, Resiliency, And Inclusion, Carolyn B. Jester, Peggy Woodall, Tammy Wrobbel Oct 2020

Educator Self-Care, Resiliency, And Inclusion, Carolyn B. Jester, Peggy Woodall, Tammy Wrobbel

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

Acosta, J., Chandra, A., & Madrigano, J. (2017) stated that “Resilience is defined as the capacity of any dynamic system to anticipate and adapt successfully to difficulties. Individual resilience is the process of, capacity for, or outcome of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats, or significant sources of stress.” The Seven streams of resilient behavior – community, competence, connections, commitment, communication, coordination, and consideration – act as a whole system response, as a practical theory that has the capacity to adapt and mold to changing data and shifting circumstances in the face of new technology according …

Now more than ever, it is integral to not only advocate for our underserved student populations, but actively support and engage these students in practices that equitable and inclusive for all.

Incorporating Brain-Based Learning Into Virtual Career Support And Delivery, Angela Evans, Hannah Nicolaisen, Mildred Wallace Oct 2020

Incorporating Brain-Based Learning Into Virtual Career Support And Delivery, Angela Evans, Hannah Nicolaisen, Mildred Wallace

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

Career development is a life-long, continuous process with many complex factors and interplay. This is also reflected in what makes up the learner of today and the demands of the current pandemic on flexible learning styles and modes of delivery to prepare for success. An eclectic toolbox is needed to meet and adapt to one’s unique strengths, needs, abilities, and preferences via different modes of communication. A purposeful and enhanced focus on experiential learning strategies may be achieved by using pseudo-flipped career training and brain-based learning. Some tenets include emotional intelligence, cognitive behavior therapy, and stages of readiness which may …

Examining Systems To Support Students: A Holistic Approach To Support Students During Challenging Times, Jennifer Buchter, Cori More, Jennifer Stringfellow

Together We RISE (Making Excellence Inclusive)

Economic disparities have long been an issue negatively impacting students in higher education. The current Covid pandemic has exaggerated these discrepancies, leading to negative educational and well-being outcomes. If not addressed, these stressors could become barriers to student achievement and degree completion. Students may find themselves responsible for financial responsibilities not only for themselves, but also for their family. They may lose financial support from their family in addition to being required to provide caregiving responsibilities. Changes in living arrangements further contribute to disparities in educational experiences and outcomes. In addition to these concrete needs, stressors such as isolation, changes …
