Incorporating Trauma-Informed Practices into the Classroom

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study in the nineties taught us the prevalence of traumatic experience in society, as well as how trauma influences lifelong learning, health, and behavior. Researchers have found correlations between high ACEs scores (indicating more traumatic experience) and learning or behavior problems, lower grades, and a higher rate of academic failure. While mental health is not a new issue to higher education, the COVID-19 pandemic and other unprecedented events have significantly impacted college student mental health and stress levels. It has therefore become increasingly vital for faculty to understand the effects of trauma and stress on the minds and behaviors of students so that they can tailor their pedagogical approach to better meet their students’ needs. Join us for a virtual training where our expert speaker Heather Rist will walk you through the effect of trauma, how it presents in the classroom, and how to implement classroom management techniques to reduce the risk of re-traumatization. You will learn to identify the signs and symptoms of trauma, as well as how to calm someone experiencing heightened trauma symptoms and to then connect them with appropriate care and resources on campus.

Supporting and Retaining LGBTQ Leaders in Higher Education: A Training for All Leaders

Higher education operates in a heteronormative and cisnormative culture that, left unchecked, inevitably leads to the systemic marginalization and underrepresentation of LGBTQ faculty and staff in leadership positions. While individual support and leadership advancement are important, they do not address the systemic issues that perpetuate these inequities. Join us to discuss practical steps that you and your institution can take to create a more inclusive and equitable environment to support LGBTQ faculty and staff.   

Creating Community While Navigating Heteronormative Culture: A Discussion for LGBTQ Leaders in Higher Education

LGBTQ faculty and staff continue to lead in higher education—despite the ways in which heteronormative culture continues to perpetuate systemic marginalization and underrepresentation of LGBTQ leaders. In addition to a commitment to dismantling the heteronormative and cisnormative systems that create these inequities, it’s also vital to provide the space for current and future LGBTQ leaders to build community, celebrate accomplishments, explore strategies to navigate these challenges and succeed professionally. The goal of this session is not to suggest that LGBTQ leaders must lead a certain way to be successful—but rather to provide a space for LGBTQ leaders to build community and learn from one another as they navigate and lead within a heteronormative culture.

Encore and Live Q&A: Creating Agile Courses for an Uncertain Year

To continue to meet student needs and plan for shifts in an uncertain year, many institutions are planning courses that are adaptable to online, hybrid, and face-to-face learning environments. Dr. Elizabeth Barrie from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has led an effort to pivot existing courses using Kaufman’s notion of agile learning, most recently introducing 38 new agile courses. The agile model enables faculty to proactively design courses that are adaptable to any scenario. This model allows students to choose their own course path by using the combination of formats that works best for their lives, whether they are working full time, parenting, or pursuing double and triple majors. The framework gives students more control of their educational pace and experience while also allowing institutions to offer quality instruction and readiness for the unforeseen pivots like those we have experienced during the past few years. Join us for a practical and interactive virtual workshop with a question-and-answer period to learn how to prepare faculty to offer every course in face-to-face, hybrid, and online formats. In the re-airing of the workshop, you will: Learn the benefits of agile courses for the student, faculty, and institution Identify ideal courses for agile […]

Support Asian Leaders in Higher Education: A Training for All Leaders

This program is the second in a two-part series. While this second program is intended for any leader interested in creating systemic change at their institution to better support Asian leaders, the first program is specifically for leaders who identify as Asian.
