Tuesday, February 23rd, 2021 11:30 am-12:30/12:45 pm, Microaggression & Supportive Climate Workshop
Kirsten Helmer, Ed. D., from the Center for Teaching and Learning, will lead us on an interactive discussion about micro aggressions. Recognizing and developing strategies for addressing micro aggressions is a key part of building a respective, supportive community. Participants will increase their knowledge about what micro aggressions are and the harm they can impart. In small breakouts, we’ll discuss scenarios, examining hidden messages and impact. We’ll then have an opportunity to discuss intervention strategies. We look forward to supporting CHE in your efforts to support a climate that is inclusive and welcoming to all.
