DARE Sponsored Professional Development Activities
The Academy for College Excellence (ACE) is pleased to announce three upcoming webinars on the affective domain! In this series, Diego Navarro, full-time faculty member at Cabrillo College and founder of the ACE, builds on his presentation on measuring the affective domain from The RP Group's Strengthening Student Success Conference in Costa Mesa, California October 4, 2012. Please join us for an exciting series of workshops serving faculty who teach at-potential students in development reading and writing classes. Facilitated by Jill Quigley and Kristin Skager Date: Tuesday, May 3 at 12:30-1:30 Location: WRC, ATC 304 Jill and Kristin’s workshop will examine multicultural literature (including the genres of short fiction, poetry, film, drama, and novels) for EWRT, READ, and LART 200 and 211 courses to both engage students and help them understand and cultivate voice. We’ll discuss strategies for using literature as a tool for teaching writing, vocabulary, tone, and critical thinking. Participates will receive an annotated bibliography, literary analysis assignment example, and exciting classroom approaches for teaching literature. Helping Generation 1.5 Students to be Independent Writers** Facilitated by Judy HubbardDates: Thursday, May 5 at 12:00-1:30 and Thursday, May 19 at 12:00-1:30 Location: WRC, ATC 304 Judy’s first workshop will focus on definitions and characteristics of Generation 1.5 students and several effective ways of teaching the use of the simple present tense as an editing tool for student papers. Her second workshop will focus on simple past and past participle errors in Gen. 1.5 student papers. Faculty and Teaching Assistants will walk away with a clear, easy-to-apply method for handling student errors, and participants will also have copies of packets they can make available for students as references. Participants will learn about the use of questioning, understand pared-down rules for verbs, and look at student examples. Find out how the less you do and the more your students do is the solution for helping the student achieve independence in writing! Teaching with Love** Facilitated by Paula Silva Date: Tuesday, May 24 at 12:30-1:30 Location: WRC Paula’s workshop will share reflections and unconventional methods from a program that incorporates what bell hooks calls "loving pedagogy." This teaching philosophy embraces students on a personal level while pushing them to experience new academic highs. Participants will leave with inspiration and ideas to experiment with as they seek new ways to interact with students in order to increase motivation and success. "De-Colonization and Filipino Indigenous Values"
Date: Thursday, May 12th from 3:00 - 7:00 pm
Location: Hinson Campus Center, Conference Room A

Through the process of learning about and experiencing decolonization through discussion and activities, participants will develop an understanding of the uniqueness of the Filipino experience in relationship to Western culture and history. Participants will be able to locate their own Filipino students within a larger historical framework, and be able to utilize activities they learn in the workshop to teach their own students about the decolonization process. Honoring International Students** Facilitated by Christine Chai Date: TBA, second week in June Location: TBA Christine’s workshop will begin with a panel of international students who discuss their experiences at De Anza College in an effort to improve our understanding of who our international students are and what particular challenges they face.
