Staff Development Sessions

To support our other grant activities, we will be holding regular staff development events and workshops to help faculty and staff gain insight into how to support our AAPI students and help them flourish.

Below are summaries of past and future Staff Development Sessions. To see previous Staff Development sessions offered under the first IMPACT AAPI project (2008 - 2011), click here.

Oceans of Impact: You + Good Pedagogy

3pm - 7pm
Campus Center, Conference Room B
PGA hours available
RSVP: staffdevelopment@deanza.edu by Tues, May 10th

Description:

In this modular workshop series, we will

• discuss the model minority myth: How are students from the Southeast Asian (SEA), Filipino, and Pacific Islander communities overlooked when it comes to discussions about under representation in higher education?
• watch videos with interviews from students, faculty, and staff that discuss the different challenges students from these communities face
• learn a brief history of each population:  How do their immigration or refugee stories affect their perceptions of education?

Attend a short 50-minute "Fly By" workshop on one of our targeted subgroups, or
an All-Together training that includes all 4 videos followed by a lively discussion.
