Pre-approved for 20 clock hours toward Faculty Professional Growth Non-Academic Advancement

This series seeks to build upon previous and current Maricopa programs by providing strategies, resources, and instructional and facilitative methodologies to create culturally-inclusive learning environments. This series will ask faculty to:

1. seek to understand multiple ways of thinking and viewing reality; and
2. examine how multicultural goals are facilitated not only in their learning environments, but also in their students, in themselves as teachers, and in their disciplines.

Learnshop activities will include:

• Interactive mini-lectures and experiential activities
• Journal writing
• Large- and small-group discussions
• Collaborative group exercises
• Portfolio development
• Video clips
• Field assignments
• Topic research
• Assessment and reflection, including peer presentations

Facilitators: Stephanie Fujii, Debra Glasper, and Dr. Eric Haas are counseling faculty within the Maricopa Community Colleges. These faculty members have been engaged in professional development in the areas of multiculturalism, diversity, intercultural communications, student retention and development, and alternative educational strategies.
