Hi Everyone,
Sorry for chiming in so late. I think my campus was one of the last in CA to move to remote teaching. Preparations in full swing here. As we prepare for this new adventure, opportunities to learn more about how to practice equity in remote teaching are popping up. I found two webinars that may be of interest to you. Both are this week!
Stay safe everyone.
Tania - Cohort 2
first one (CORA):
The unanticipated transition from face-to-face to online courses in response to COVID-19 presents a substantial challenge for many community college faculty, particularly those who have worked to create a teaching and learning environment that prioritizes equity and equity-mindedness. With this in mind, please join Dr. Luke Wood and Dr. Frank Harris as they present some salient trends and issues that complicate the experiences of diverse community college learners in online courses and propose equity-minded teaching and learning strategies for faculty teaching online courses.
Date and Time: March 26th, 10:00 AM PST.
Title - Employing Equity-Minded and Culturally-Affirming Teaching and Learning Practices in Virtual Learning Communities

The second one (AAC&U):
Friday, March 27, 1 pm ET
As the undergraduate experience goes virtual in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, how can colleges and universities ensure that the rapid scaling of online learning to unprecedented levels doesn’t come at the expense of their commitment to quality, equity, and inclusion? This webinar will address a wide range of student success issues and opportunities now confronting faculty, staff, and administrators across the higher education landscape. Presenters will offer practical advice and effective pedagogical strategies for creating and sustaining high-quality, equitable, and inclusive learning environments online.
There will be time for Q&A during the webinar. Please send all webinar queries to webinars@aacu.org. The webinar will be recorded, and the recording will be available online.
