What participants are saying
I have learned to look at concepts and complex issues from multiple perspectives. While I have known to do this previously, this course provided the opportunity to do so and experience others doing so.
I have learned how to express myself better through taking this course. I now have the terminology to participate in discussions on social issues, which I am very grateful for.
My only opportunity to speak about allyship and social justice in an educational context.
I’ve learned how important it is to create a safer space for all participants.
There was a lot of information and knowledge that was taught and shared which was very different from my domain but it was highly interesting. I felt very included.
I’ve learned how to manage difference, especially when an opinion differs from mine.
I learned the value of other perspectives and world viewpoints.
This class is a lot more collaborative that other classes; teaching isn’t uni-directional. Instead, learning is developed collaboratively.
I learned how to properly facilitate in the classroom and the tools and skills you need to do it.
Being a facilitator allowed me to be creative … it also allowed me to see the different thought processes and dynamics of each group … it also gave me the opportunity to take on a new position instead of a learner who usually has knowledge imparted on them, I got to be the one directing how a learning opportunity may go and how I can make it better.
