11/18/22 New Faculty Seminar

This group of new tenure track faculty and new lecturers meets  as a cohort periodically throughout the year.

Session Outcomes:

• Teaching and Learning: Learn and share practical, evidence-based pedagogical techniques and strategies that strengthen student learning
• Faculty Resources: Build a support network of colleagues from divisions and departments across the campus.
• Student Resources: Identify resources from academic affairs and student services that can assist students in meeting their needs, and explain when and how to refer these students to these resources. 
• Anti-Racist Education: Identify strategies to participate in “an organizing effort for institutional and social change that is much broader than teaching in the classroom.” (Yale’s Poorvu Center)
• Culturally Responsive Education: Identify the strengths and needs of Highline’s diverse student population, and build classrooms that are responsive to the unique differences of each student.
• Reflective Practice: Use critically reflective practices to continuously improve teaching, learning, and student success.
