Multicultural Design + Inclusive Spaces Summit 2024’s Post

Each year, the HUCSC Executives develop a unique roadmap for their term, reflecting their platforms and student experiences. The roadmap is crafted with a deep commitment to representing and supporting students, enhancing student life, and steering the HUCSC effectively, serving as a comprehensive guide for the Executives. The roadmap focuses on five key areas that guide the daily activities and long-term goals of the Executives and the HUCSC by promoting affordability, inclusivity, and collaboration within the campus community. This roadmap is more than a strategic plan for the HUCSC; it is a commitment to every student at Huron ❤️ Check out the link to learn more about the Executive Roadmap: https://shorturl.at/tGGjW

Moving your Portrait of a Graduate from "poster to practice" can be a huge challenge. Districts often face hurdles like: 🧠 Shifting long-established mindsets ✋ Engaging all stakeholders 🤔 Aligning day-to-day teaching practices with the Profile’s vision On top of that, ensuring every student can develop and demonstrate the competencies outlined in the Graduate Profile is CRUCIAL. (If you don't, what's the point?) If you haven't done so recently, ask yourself, "How are we enabling students to actively show they're exemplifying our Profile?" ACSA shared a great blueprint emphasizing the need to move from vision to action. If it's been a while, it’s worth a fresh look. https://lnkd.in/gfD3cXeF Need support in getting students more involved in demonstrating those competencies? I'd be happy to share what's working well! #K12Superintendents #EdLeadership #StudentSuccess #PortraitOfAGraduate #ContinuousImprovement

Recently, I had a blast delivering the 💫keynote session 💫at the 43rd Annual CASP (College Academic Support Programs) Conference. ✳️TITLE: Supporting, Sustaining, and Strengthening a Culture of Self-care and Well-being in Higher Education ✨Cultivating Space for YOU to Thrive Higher education faculty, staff, and students face challenges that can impact mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This keynote addressed the critical importance of fostering a culture of self-care and well-being within academia, ensuring that all members of the university and college communities are supported in sustaining their health and thriving both personally and professionally. The session explored practices that can help individuals in higher education manage stress, prevent burnout, and cultivate resilience. Whether you're a faculty member balancing teaching and research, a staff member supporting student success, or a student navigating academic and personal pressures, this keynote provided actionable strategies to integrate self-care into your daily routine and work environment. We also discussed how to build a culture of care within departments and across campus, ensuring that well-being is a priority for everyone. Attendees left with tools to create personal self-care plans and resources to support their peers, colleagues, and students.
