Academic Excellence Framework (AEF)

City Colleges Academic Affairs is proud to offer Instructional Fundamentals: Culturally Responsive Teaching, a two-week, asynchronous short course intended to support faculty instructional development in line with Pillar 3 of the Academic Excellence Framework.

Examples of reflections & artifacts you’ll work on:

  • Positionality statement
  • Implicit association test
  • Examples of culturally responsive teaching in your context
  • Future plans for considering anti-racism in education

Schedule:
The short course will run from Wednesday, March 5 to Wednesday, March 19. Participants should plan to dedicate 2-3 hours each week (4-6 hours total) to take part in the short course.
