OFD Newsletter: Week of November 25, 2019
Grading Retreat on December 16
Does the thought of end-of-the semester grading make you cringe? A quiet space, group support, and refreshments may help with that. The Office of Faculty Development has partnered with NC State University Libraries to offer Grading Retreats at the end of fall and spring semesters for all NC State faculty: Monday, December 16, 2019 and Monday, May 4, 2020.
Retreats will be held in the Faculty Research Commons in James B. Hunt Jr. Library (Centennial Campus). Join your peers and motivate each other to get the job done! OFD staff will be on hand for any consultation desired to help make the job less onerous. Coffee/tea/water and a light breakfast will be provided. Registration is for the full-day event (8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.), but please feel free to come and go as needed — join us all day, in the morning, in the afternoon, or even just for an hour or two! Space will be limited for each retreat, so please sign up early!
OIED Offerings for Faculty
The Office for Institutional Equity and Diversity is offering the new Foundations of Cultural Competence and inclusivity Certificate Program for faculty.
This program provides multiple levels of engagement in the areas of cultural competence and cultural intelligence and builds awareness, knowledge, and skills in cultural competence.
We highly recommend that all faculty take the online training and, if desired, continue with the next two components to complete their certification. Enrollment for this opportunity is ongoing.
The program includes the following three components:
Online Training
“DiversityEdu for Faculty: Personal Skills for a Diverse Campus” is an online training course designed for faculty that focuses on engaging with diversity and growing inclusive culture and provides information and skills for building inclusive environments. (No cost to participants, two hours.)
Cultural Intelligence Assessment
The CQ Cultural Intelligence Assessment in-person session is an introduction to the cultural intelligence model using the CQ instrument with an emphasis on communication across cultures as it relates to participants’ roles within NC State. ($100 cost per participant, three hours.)
In-Person Session
“Building Cultural Competence Knowledge and Skills” is an in-person session in which participants practice skills for engaging effectively across differences and explore identities and learn about the impact of socialization on identities. The online module, DiversityEdu, is a prerequisite for this session. (No cost to participants, three hours.)
