Courageous Conversations: 6 Conditions Presentation

Today a colleague and I presented to the faculty the "six conditions" of Courageous Conversations. Our presentation started with a "cue set" to get them thinking about why we're here. Then we explained the remaining three conditions to the faculty. We finished up with a video from Pacific Educational with Glenn Singleton explaining the conditions and the process in depth (I figure it's best coming from the source!).

This presentation was a followup to an earlier presentation, in which we had the faculty rotate between four stations. At each station, they a) read the condition and b) answered discussion questions related to race in their lives.

Overall I think this went well. It was good to give them a chance to circulate and discuss, and then after they've had some time to process, review the information and use videos to get them thinking "multi-modally" about how we can address race issues to help our students.
