Week 9: 10/27 – Racial Equity Tools in Communities – Courage & Compassion

Midterm Presentations today!!

A co-created class allows each of us to share our individual and group learning with all others, to enhance the collective learning experience. Come to class prepared to talk for no more than 10 minutes about where you are in your CEL Project. You may draw from your Personal Reflections or Progress Reports to help you decide what you wish to share about what you have learned, where you have met challenges, and/or what your vision is moving forward through the rest of the semester. You may create a slide deck, use handouts, incorporate music, poetry, movement to engage the class in your presentation. Creativity is a plus!!
