Afternoon Workshops

The workshops are mostly repeated so you can “choose your own adventure.” Most sessions are offered by Shasta College colleagues or community members so that we can leverage the expertise of our campus and outlying community. Session descriptions, and room or Zoom links are below.

In-Person Session Descriptions

The Essentials of Ethical Community Engagement – Sapan Parekh - Room 810

So, you want to make a difference in the world around you? Perhaps you want to encourage your students or family or colleagues to do the same? But maybe you feel uncomfortable, unprepared, or uncertain, particularly when engaging a community that has been traditionally marginalized or oppressed. This workshop, developed with input from the community, is just the start of a much larger conversation about what it means to ethically engage communities.

Developing the Reflective Student - Sapan Parekh - Room 810

The ability to reflect is the key to transformational and enduring learning. Reflection is a powerful skill for all students to develop, no matter their field of interest, in order to help them see the connection of their learning to themselves and their world. In this workshop, you will learn some simple techniques and structures to strengthen the impact reflection can have on student learning, including RISE's own 8Cs of Connected Reflection.

Exploring Grading Practices- Wade Stewart and Jen McCandless - Room 813

Have you ever considered why you use the grading system that you use? Have you tried any new grading practices recently that you have found effective or ineffective? In this interactive session, we will examine our own grading system and strategies, then share some grading strategies for assessing student learning that have been shown to effectively promote student agency and motivation. Please come willing to share your ideas so that we can all learn from each other.
