Pulling Together Curriculum Developers

This workshop is a follow-up to the Pulling Together Curriculum Developers 2023 series and the 2022 FLO MicroCourse Considerations to Indigenize Your Work and gives registrants an opportunity to put what they have learned into practical application. This workshop aims to review and reframe tangible aspects of persons teaching practices, and we encourage participants to to bring in personal examples of their work such as syllabus, course assignments, grading rubrics, etc, for discussion. You will be invited to work in break out rooms with other educators and to bring any pending questions from previous series. Facilitators will be helping with the application and processes of Indigenizing one’s work. We will be using a Moodle platform; these sessions will take place via Zoom. We will not be recording these sessions. 

These workshops will take place on Thursday March 2nd from 10am-12pm PST and  Thursday March 16th from 10am-12pm PST.
