Who Are the Students 社区 大学 Serve?

The typical college student is no longer the image many of us hold in our heads—an 18- to 22-year-old who leaves his or her parents’ home for the first time, ready to begin the journey at an ivy-walled four-year college or university. 而, many of today’s college students are beyond the age of 24, 至少兼职工作, 抚养一个家庭. Approximately half are low-income and financially independent from their parents, and a third are students of color (Deil-Amen 2015; Ma and Baum 2016).

"社区 colleges already serve the underserved half of high school students; these students are now at risk of becoming the new forgotten half of community college students: credits but no degree."

通过触觉培养一种归属感

A classroom, whether physical or virtual, is a reflection of the world in which we live. Research has shown that students from underrepresented groups often face additional challenges. By implementing teaching practices for fostering a sense of belonging, faculty create learning environments where all students feel they belong and have the opportunity to achieve at high levels.

To support instructors in creating these learning environments, 我们提供了一套免费资源, including 10 thoughtful teaching practices that can be immediately put to use to benefit both faculty and their students. These practices are tailored for online teaching but are also relevant to the physical classroom.

这10种做法包括:

1. Ensure your course reflects a varied society and world.
2. 确保课程媒体是可访问的.
3. Ensure your syllabus sets the tone for caring and belongingness.
4. 使用富有同情心的语言.
5. 分享你的性别代词.
6. 学习和使用学生喜欢的名字.
7. Engage students in a small-group introductions activity.
8. Use an interest survey to connect with students.
9. 提供灵活的办公时间.
10. Set expectations for valuing different viewpoints.
