Addressing Implicit Bias & Microaggression to Create an Inclusive Classroom and Campus Community
Tuesday, March 10 from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
BTC Meeting Room 2
Racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination and prejudice toward marginalized and underrepresented groups are pervasive in our society and sometimes manifest as implicit bias and microaggressions. Implicit bias is the unconscious, automatic, and instantaneous association of stereotypes or attitudes towards particular groups of people, while microaggressions are the everyday indignities and insults and offensive hidden messages inflicted upon people of color and other marginalized and minority groups. Implicit biases and microaggressions have a negative impact on academic and workplace performance and psychological well-being and should be the subject of an open and honest dialogue in a higher education environment. This webinar examines implicit biases and microaggressions and relates examples that have recently been covered in the news media. Participants will reflect on the implicit biases and microaggressions that they may have experienced themselves as well as expressed towards others. They will also leverage their increased awareness and understanding to respond effectively when interacting with students and others.
Building Inclusion and Trust through Discussion Protocols
Thursday, March 12 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.,
CET Distance Learning Lab, BTC 1033
Anxiety is nothing new to college students, but with the current economic situation, our students are even more anxious — anxious about the cost of college, and anxious about what good it will do them on the job market. Students with learning differences (dyslexia, ADD, ADHD) can feel that anxiety even more intensely. All that anxiety can augment the students’ sense of consumerism and entitlement, which can be exasperating for faculty. Faculty can reduce that anxiety by being supportive instructors, by building trust, and by creating a safe place in the classroom. Dakin Burdick, director of the Institute for College Teaching at SUNY Cortland, will describe the role of anxiety in the classroom and offer teaching methods that can help reduce anxiety. Participants will discuss ways to balance rigor and support in their disciplines.

Equity in Design for HSS: A Gateway to College for High School Students
Friday, March 13 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
CET Distance Learning Lab, BTC 1033
Every adolescent faces challenges as they navigate their teenage years, but for some these challenges imperil their ability to complete their education. This webinar details the second of ATD’s HSS briefs, examining Gateway to College, a dual enrollment program on community college campuses for students who have not completed high school. Gateway’s approach to introducing high school students to the college experience is designed to increase their sense of belonging, which supports their identity as college students.
