At Clover Park Technical College, the quest for educational excellence is a shared journey. Anchoring this voyage is our unwavering commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). We, at the Teaching and Learning Center (TLC), are honored to collaborate closely with the esteemed team at the Office of EDI in forging a path of continuous learning and development.
Our synergy has birthed a suite of EDI training sessions that not only resonate with the ethos of inclusivity but also contribute towards your Professional Development Units (PDU). This initiative is a stride beyond the foundational modules encapsulated in the Base Camp course, fulfilling our pledge to provide ongoing opportunities for engaging with EDI concepts throughout the academic year.
Herein lies an invitation to delve deeper, to embrace the transformative power of education through a lens of equity and inclusivity. Below, you’ll find a visual gateway to your self-paced EDI journey.
