The Center has moved downstairs to room 4559 in the Knight Campus Library. This sunny space is right in the middle of the CTE Book Collection, and still has coffee and tea! Stop by to check it out and get a cuppa!

Rachel's Recommended Reading
"You Get the Learning You Expect" by Regan A. R. Gurung on The Teaching Professor.
This is a great summary of some important concepts that can influence the way you interact with your students. I hope this article inspires some reflection on your teaching!
Knights Points
Don't forget, you can fill out an Implementation Plan if you want to use anything you learn from any professional development in your classes for 4 CTE Knights points. Close the gap to a CTE Knights Certificate before Spring Symposium!
Disaggregated Data Requests
In February 2022, I (Rachel) was able to see my course data for General Psychology (a course I have taught many times here at CCRI) disaggregated by race and ethnicity. The results were surprising and difficult for me to face. Despite that, I’m very glad that I did it, and I’m looking forward to trying some new strategies in my courses to try to close the equity gaps I found.
If you’d like to check out your own course data, request a meeting here to get started.
