Beyond the Deficit: Relationships and Rigor: Syllabus Audit
When
Office/Remote Location
Description
Syllabus Audit guides faculty in creating syllabi that communicate equity, inclusivity, and high expectations.
Join us for our five-part workshop series that introduces asset-based teaching—a student-centered approach that recognizes learners’ cultural knowledge, lived experiences, and community strengths as powerful resources for learning. This framework challenges deficit-based narratives and emphasizes that fostering inclusion and connection in the classroom enhances, rather than diminishes, academic rigor. Adapted from an NSF-funded professional development program created by ÐÔÊӽ紫ý faculty for use across Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI's), this home-grown series—presented by ÐÔÊӽ紫ý faculty and the Teaching and Learning Commons—represents a unique opportunity to engage with a nationally significant model developed right here at ÐÔÊӽ紫ý.
