[Jennifer Whetham]

Dear VPIs, ATC, Workforce Deans, eLearning, and FACTC,
Please see the e-mail I sent to STEM faculty a few minutes ago.
Please forward to STEM educators you know who are in need of support right now.
Thank you so much.

“The problems of racism in writing classrooms are not primarily pedagogical problems to solve alone. Racism is an assessment problem, which can only be fully solved by changing the system of assessment, by changing the classroom writing assessment ecology. Thus assessment must be reconceived as an antiracist ecology.”

Subject: Pro D for STEM Faculty During COVID 19

Dear STEM Faculty,

SBCTC is here to support you during this time! Here are a few things I'd like to put on your radar:

Online Workshops for STEM Educators
I've reached out to Bryce Battisti and Lucas Myers to ask if they would facilitate a STEM specific version of the "KISS/Lifeboat Strategies<https://bit.ly/2QJHZXU>."
Bryce and Lucas are both Biology faculty with instructional design backgrounds who have been teaching fully online for years.
The plan is for Bryce and Lucas to share their "Top Transition Tips" for STEM faculty, as well as show you how they've set up their courses in Canvas.
Not only will they be willing to share lesson plans and modules ... they can answer all kinds of questions.
No matter what your discipline, there will be lots of transferable ideas to get you up and running for spring quarter.

  *   "Lifeboat Strategies" with Bryce Battisti: Monday, March 30th, 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM
  *   "Lifeboat Strategies" with Lucas Myers: Tuesday, March 31st, 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM
