Learning College Week Spring 2021 banner

LCW Overview

We’re already halfway through the week!

Ohlone’s LCW offerings almost rivaled inauguration events. We had a jam-packed day of amazing curriculum.

If you participated in any of Wednesday’s sessions, please take a few moments to provide your feedback in Wednesday’s daily evaluation.

It’s not too late to provide your thoughts from yesterday – please complete Tuesday’s daily evaluation.

Your feedback will help to inform future professional development offerings and our efforts for continuous improvement.

Thursday - January 21, 2021 - Overview

Thursday’s focus is on our students – learning from them in the GP/SEA panel discussion, sharing best practices on how to meet their diverse needs, addressing their unique needs with noncredit and affordable textbook offerings, learning from the ASCCC about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, and finally connecting with our departments and divisions to set ourselves up for success for the semester and beyond.

Reminders

Interpreters.

If you need an interpreter for any session in which you are interested in attending, please send your request to Aundrea Love as soon as possible.

Pre-registration.

I’ve been updating the Master Calendar with Zoom links as they become available. When you click on the link to join a session, you will be prompted to provide your name and email address. This will allow the session leader to run an attendance report later – eliminating the need for sign-in sheets. If you click on the link prior to the leader launching the session, you will be sent an email confirmation with a link to click as you get closer to the session start. If you click on the link after the session has been launched, you’ll have the option to “Join session in progress.”

Your feedback matters. I’ll be sending out the link to Thursday's daily evaluation form on Thursday afternoon – with the preview of Friday. Keep an eye out.
