Fall 2020 Faculty Professional 欧洲杯决赛竞猜app_欧洲杯足球网-投注|官网ment from CBL: Professional Learning Community, Mentoring, and more!
Posted by hannah.cherry
As educators teaching and learning during this social movement centered around Black Lives Matter, it is even more essential that we be reflective about their own positionality around the structures that create and perpetuate inequality in society, such as race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, ability, religion, and socioeconomic status.
As a program, we recognize the need to critically examine the origins and practice of curricular community engagement. This year, CBL will be focused on expanding our knowledge sources, unlearning colonial mindsets, and being in a community with one another remotely.
As we challenge ourselves to radically reimagine what community-based learning pedagogy looks like at PCC, we invite you to join us in this process!
