Workshops-to-Go --Teaching&Learning

Academic Integrity & Professional Ethics
presented by Jeanne Wilson, University California Davis

Experts share tips and experiences on student cheating, plagiarism, curricular integrity, and Internet abuses. Learn how faculty, administrators and students can work together to ensure integrity in the classroom and the college.

Cross Cultural Communication*
presented by Pat Bennet, Grossmont Community College
or Piper McNulty, De Anza College

Do some of your students dominate discussion? Are others too slow to respond, or are nearly invisible? Participants in this workshop will experience disparate discussion styles, and reflect on the challenges students face in a multicultural setting.

Educating Immigrants and International Students
presented by Pat Bennet, Grossmont Community College

Immigrants and visiting international students bring new challenges to the college environment. The need for student services and English as a Second Language support for cultural understanding and linguistic awareness all demand more from us. This training may include need assessment to allow for focus on individual campus needs.

The What, Why & How of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs)
presented by Gabrielle Siemion, Santa Barbara City College

Legislative focus on measuring student performance and success has brought SLOs to the forefront of college culture. As a result, new accreditation standards reflect a paradigm shift in education to being outcome-based in an observable and measurable way. This hands-on workshop will review the what, why and how of SLOs. Faculty, counselors, student services, and college administrators will learn the background, basics, and latest on SLOs, and have an opportunity to create SLOs for their class, department, and college.

On Course to Empowering Active, Responsible Learners
presented by Gabrielle Siemion, Santa Barbara City College

Exchange and celebrate best practices in student success from immediately usable instructional and counseling strategies to campus-wide programs that increase retention and student academic success. Learn great new strategies from educators who are changing the lives of their students and transforming their colleges into learner-centered institutions. Best of all, you won't just hear about how to empower your students to become active, responsible learners -- you'll experience it yourself! This workshop is ideal for all college faculty, student success instructors, counselors, TRIO personnel, and administrators looking for a proven approach to dramatically improving student success and retention.

Technology in the Classroom
presented by The @One Project

Different aspects of this ever-expanding subject will be addressed by knowledgable speakers of The @One Project. @ONE makes it easy for California Community College faculty and staff to learn how to use technology to enhance student learning and success. Contact FACCC with your Technology in the Classroom area of interest, and let us coordinate this workshop to suit your campus, classroom needs.

Creating an Interdisciplinary Freshman Seminar
presented by Teresa Aldredge & Monica Cranston, Cosumnes River College

First-time college students are the first to sign up for classes, and the first to leave our colleges. A growing trend across the state and nation is to offer these first-timers a “freshman seminar,” geared toward increasing retention rates. This workshop will offer an inside look at creating an interdisciplinary Freshman Seminar, taught by faculty from across discipline lines.

Retaining Minority Faculty
presented by Dr. Lisa Gunderson & Dr. Gayle Pitman, Sacramento City College

This session will focus on what community colleges need to do to retain minority faculty. This workshop examines the very definition and profile of minority faculty today ((i.e., female, ethnic, and gay/lesbian), and is followed by a discussion regarding the importance of retention, the unique challenges that minority faculty face, and recommendations to retain them. The session concludes with exchanging personal experiences and brainstorming additional recommendations that participants may take with them to their respective campuses.

*Multiple options for presenter are available for this workshop. Please indicate your speaker preference when placing an order. If a preference is not noted, a presenter will be chosen based on availability for the dates and times requested on the Order Form.
