Take a Look at this NISOD Webinar: “Five Strategies for Teaching and Reaching African American and Latinx Students”

Facilitator: Dr. Andrea Dardello

When: Monday, March 6, 2023 | 11am-12pm

Description: Community colleges throughout the nation are experiencing increased enrollment of African American and Latinx students. At the same time, these students graduate and transfer at significantly lower rates than their White counterparts. This disparity points to a need to not only teach, but to reach marginalized populations more effectively. This webinar elaborates on five ways educators can use restorative and culturally responsive teaching practices to reduce opportunity gaps for Black and Brown students.
