Spring 2022 IEP Workshop Series
The Spring 2022 IEP Workshop Series focuses on the TRUTH Framework, developed by Dr. Denise Davis-Cotton. Each of the five levels – Teach, Reach, Unite, Transform and Heal - represents an intentional growth progression from self-inquiry to collaborative interactions.
The framework supports a culture in higher education that: recognizes identities of self and others; identifies strategies that benefit students of varying abilities and perspectives; creates new and meaningful relationships; and supports an inclusive and equitable education that empowers differences and fosters a sense of belonging.
Each workshop will explore a specific level of the TRUTH Framework and implications for integrating into diverse learning environments. Workshops will be discussion based, giving participants the opportunity to engage with how these ideas inform their own pedagogical practices. Participants will leave with a one-page practical application guide to help them apply these topics in their courses.
