LLCC Human Resources is offering a free workshop on March 22 from 1-3 p.m. on Effective Communication in the Workplace.

This in-person workshop includes topics and tools useful for dealing with co-workers and the “customers” we serve daily.  Often, we forget that the best form of communication is just to be observant, remain quiet and listen. Subjects that will be covered in this workshop are the use of active listening in the workplace, how to read body language and helping others problem solve in an effective manner.

Workshop today: Embedding Equity in the Classroom and Everyday Practice

Embedding Equity in the Classroom and Everyday Practice
Today, Feb. 23, 3-4:30 p.m. in the Trutter Center

Register for Feb. 23 workshop​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Sponsored by the LLCC Workforce Equity Initiative, this OCCRL facilitated workshop has been designed to introduce faculty to several ways to embed equity-minded approaches into the classroom through the inclusion and incorporation of culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP). Within the context of the diversity at LLCC and the surrounding community, (e.g., District 526), this workshop will be dedicated to framing awareness of CRP, its purpose and intent and an exploration of ways to incorporate culturally responsive approaches into courses and programs to advance equitable learning and training outcomes. Participants will be provided with practical examples of the use of CRP and space to consider how these examples may be replicated and scaled at LLCC. This training will conclude with faculty engaging in activities designed to allow faculty members an opportunity to examine their own course content and teaching approaches for areas of improvement utilizing culturally responsive practices.

Note: Faculty can receive two points toward their Training and Innovation professional development total for successful completion of this workshop.

AIeL workshop today: Language Variation & Linguistic Discrimination

Language Variation & Linguistic Discrimination
Today, Feb. 21, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., MNRD 2202
Matthew Griffin, assistant professor, Spanish

Register for Feb. 21 workshop

The way we speak says a lot about who we are and where we come from. However, some dialects of American English are considered by some to sound “uneducated” or “improper.” In this workshop, we will take a crash course in linguistics as we look at language diversity and consider the biases that we may hold toward specific varieties of English. With this information, we will then discuss the ways in which we can better address the linguistic needs of our students.
