Greetings From Your Facilitators
Greetings From Your Facilitators
We will be your online instructors for Equity & Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning. We know you have so many institutional responsibilities -- grading and facilitating your load of courses, attending committee meetings -- and personal responsibilities, as well. In light of this, we appreciate your decision to become more equity-minded educators by applying Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning (CRTL) methods in your online courses.
Sincerely,
Fabiola Torres, Ethnic Studies faculty, Glendale Community College
Maritez Apigo, English Faculty & DE Coordinator, Contra Costa
How does this course work?
How does this course work?
While some courses are self-paced, this course follows a weekly schedule and is facilitated by -- real people! Each week you'll interact with your peers in weekly discussions, and complete a series of activities and assignments. The weekly schedule allows us to learn from one another, and it keeps everyone on a path towards achieving our learning goals.
The course is designed to take about 10-12 hours per week. You will work at your own pace; however, there are scheduled due dates within each unit you will be expected to meet.
The course has 4 units. Each unit opens officially on Monday, although we strive to open it early.
Schedule 1 hour each Monday to log in, review the module and assignments, take note of due dates, and plan your week.
Plan to log in to the course several times each week--we have regular due dates for discussions on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and other weekly due dates for assignments.
With each of your assignments, we will provide feedback, which opens another opportunity for revision, learning, and growth. Working within our weekly schedule allows both you and me to plan our time (please see the Submission Policy for more details on late work). For more info, please see the Grading page.
Your participation is an important part of the success of this course, but we also recognize that we each have our own classes to teach, family and friends to visit with, and, because we're human, sometimes we're just swamped or under the weather. If you've reached a point where you can't meet a deadline, please contact us--we'll work together to make a path to success. For more info, please see the Policies page.
Our preferred communication method is the CANVAS inbox (from our course, click 'Inbox' in the left global navigation menu).
Alternatively, you may email us directly at:
If you contact us Monday-Friday, we will respond within 24 hours.
The Q&A discussion forum in our class is a great place for general course-related questions. Your peers might even answer you there! If your question is personal in nature, please send it directly to me through the Canvas inbox.
What is appropriate for the Q&A? Questions pertaining to the course (where do I find that, can you provide more info about this topic, something isn't working properly, etc.)
What is not appropriate for the Q&A? Questions pertaining to your personal situation (keeping us informed about your needs, extension requests, etc.). These questions should be sent to us directly using the Canvas inbox.
