Academic Excellence Framework (AEF)
Cultural Responsiveness

City Colleges Academic Affairs is proud to offer Instructional Fundamentals: Culturally Responsive Teaching, a self-paced, asynchronous short course intended to support faculty instructional development in line with Pillar 3 of the Academic Excellence Framework (ccc.edu/aef). Instructional Fundamentals: Culturally Responsive Training prepares faculty on cultural self-awareness, how culturally responsive teaching deepens connections between students’ lived experiences and course material, and lifelong learning regarding intersectional anti-racism.

Objectives:

  1. Describe your positionality as an instructor in the context of your teaching 
  2. Apply principles of culturally responsive teaching to your teaching  
  3. Plan for ongoing education and self-reflection in intersectional anti-racism in education 

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 is self paced and will be available throughout the Fall 2025 semester. Participants should plan to dedicate 4-6 hours total to take part in the short course.

Register for the course via Microsoft Forms.

The Academic Excellence Framework (AEF) clearly prioritizes the skills, activities, initiatives, roles, and goals that directly support consistently strong teaching and learning at City Colleges of Chicago.
