Anti-racism is the act of engaging in actions that intentionally counter-act racism against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). Bearing this in mind, this program aims to provide educators with the tools to engage in anti-racist course design, for online and in-person modalities. Participants will learn how racism impacts students’ learning, growth, and development as well as tangible strategies to intentionally counter-act challenges in their curricula.
You will have 30 days to complete each of the 4 modules of this training. Each module requires a 3-4 hour commitment (including lectures, discussion boards, readings).
To complete the program, learners must complete the following activities:
1. Review all video modules – There are four modules in all. Our learning management system allows participants and faculty to review learner progress in completing video modules.
2. Read the assigned readings – There are assigned readings that are aligned with each of the modules. It is an expectation that readings will be completed before reviewing the module. The readings are comprehensive in nature, as such, we recommend planning ahead to ensure readings are completed on schedule. Comprehension of material will be gauged through the live interactive sessions.
3. Attend the live video sessions – Learners will have access to course faculty during a live interactive session. This is an opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue that is solution-oriented. It is expected that all learners will attend at least one live session. Live sessions will be recorded and posted for those who are unable to attend.
4. Complete short quizzes – Following each recorded presentation you will complete a brief quiz assessing your understanding of the material. Quizzes can be completed an unlimited number of times. It is recommended that you re-take quizzes until you correctly answer all questions.
5. Participate in asynchronous discussion forums. As you complete each module, we encourage you to identify questions, comments, and reactions to the material as well as relevant resources and post them in the discussion forums. This is an opportunity for faculty and peers to engage in dialogue and knowledge sharing.
