SUMMARY:A Volunteer’s Introduction to Universal Design for Learning
DESCRIPTION:Registration Deadline: WED. 7/13/22 \nUniversal Design for Learning (UDL) is an approach that enhances educational equity by creating more accessible learning experiences for all students. This introductory webinar covers fundamental UDL concepts\, the similarities and differences between UDL and disability accommodations\, and some UDL strategies for adult learners across levels. We’ll also highlight the UDL connections in Literacy Minnesota’s new curriculum\, English Unlocked. Join us to learn about how you can help implement UDL in any volunteer role\, whether you serve as a classroom assistant\, tutor\, or teacher. \nNote: This session is primarily designed for volunteers who follow predetermined curricula and lesson plans. For those with control or discretion over lesson and classroom design\, we also recommend the PANDA UDL training (offered annually in January).

SUMMARY:Antiracist Praxis Study Circle\, Summer 2022
DESCRIPTION:Application Deadline: FRI. 5/27/22 \nAPPLY NOW >> \n\nNOTE: Participation will be limited to keep the group a manageable size.\n\nStudy Circle Meetings: ONLINE via Zoom\, on Wednesdays from 3-5 pm (CDT) as follows: \n\nWednesday\, June 15\nWednesday\, June 22\nWednesday June 29\nWednesday\, July 13\nWednesday\, July 20\n\nFacilitator: Cydnee Sanders \nDescription: Many of us have heard the terms antiracist and DEI (diversity\, equity and inclusion)\, but how do we actually implement these large frameworks into our adult English classrooms? This study circle goes beyond defining antiracism and explores how the research around Translanguaging by Ofelia García and Culturally Responsive Teaching by Zaretta Hammond provide us with tools to change the way we approach teaching. \nThe study circle is not intended to be a basic “what is racism” professional development activity\, so we have some working assumptions and hope those interested in joining can agree to start with these foundational beliefs: \n\nRacism is systemic. White supremacy and systemic racism are leading problems in our education system. These systems are especially harmful to people of color and the English language learners we serve.\nIdentifying and addressing implicit bias is paramount to this work. It is a personal journey\, and we all enter this work together from different places.\nIt is not enough to be “not racist” but we have to be intentionally antiracist.\nWe are willing to work in a collaborative environment and to hold each other accountable.\n\nTime Commitment: 5 two-hour meetings\, plus an expected 1-2 hours per week of preparation by reading\, viewing\, and reflecting on assigned tasks \nCEUs: 20 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities \nStipends: $100 for those who attend ALL 5 meetings and complete all study circle activities \nIf you require ASL Interpretation\, please contact Gail Rutan at grutan01@hamline.edu \n
