Communication & Interaction Expectations
Interacting with fellow participants
Participants in this course are expected to communicate respectfully and with kindness. Much of the asynchronous modules will be done independently, though participants are encouraged to post their thoughts and reflections to the shared discussion board. In the second module, there is one required interaction in which participants will engage in a group brainstorming activity using Padlet. In this activity, you are expected to add at least two culturally responsive teaching practices to the Padlet board. You are encouraged to comment on your colleagues’ post.
During our synchronous session, participants are expected to participate with their full attention during the one hour session. Participants should plan to join with their cameras on and be prepared to share their action plans with their colleagues. They should also be prepared to provide collegial feedback on their colleagues’ work.
