2019 Programs for
Hispanic Serving Institutions

We partner with HSIs to create long-term professional development that allows faculty and staff time to implement as well as to measure changes. Depending on the size of your institution and the timing of your Title V, III or NSF grant, we can develop a year-long or multi-year plan to work with your faculty and/or staff.  

For the 2019-2020 academic year we are offering:​

Multi-Institutional Trainings (Summer 2019)

• Summer Institutes for Faculty in Santa Fe, NM and Salinas, CA (that leads to the Certificate in College Teaching & Learning in HSIs)
• Facilitator Leadership Training in Santa Fe, NM
• Consultation on Faculty Development (hourly)

On Your Campus (Fall 2019 and Spring 2020)

• Convocation Keynote Addresses (50 min)
• Half-day or One-day Faculty or Staff Programs (3 or 6 hour)
• Faculty Teaching Retreats (12 hours over two days)​

An on-campus program requires a minimum of 6 months advance notice. The exact cost of an on-campus program will depend upon the number and type facilitators needed and travel to/from New Mexico.

Half, One or Two-Day Faculty Retreats: Working with Equity in Mind
Lengths available: 3 hours, 6 hours, or 12 hours over two days
Location: on your campus

We can facilitate half, one and two-day faculty retreats to start your group of instructors or staff talking about:

• what it means to enact equity rather than equality;
• the socio-cultural divides between students and faculty/staff in HSIs, and why it is important to bridge them;
• how the brain learns, and how to embed brain-based strategies in order to help students 'learn how to learn;'
• the importance of relationship, competence and trust in improving student retention and persistence to degree.

The HSI Faculty Summer Institute: The Certificate in College Teaching & Learning
Length: 3 days in July or August 
Locations: Santa Fe, New Mexico and various locations in California.

We know that many faculty are interested in professional development but have no time during the school year to study the impact of their teaching on student learning.

The Summer Institute brings together faculty from multiple HSIs to provide opportunities for multi-state and multi-region collaboration and networking. During the Institute faculty use our metrics to first identify and analyze inequitable patterns of learning and participation in their classrooms and courses. Faculty then take part in real-time demonstrations of high impact teaching/learning practices, receive crucial implementation advice, and learn how to measure changes to student engagement and learning.

By the end of Institute faculty have designed a teaching/learning project that they will implement in their classrooms in the Fall. We strongly encourage faculty from Summer Institute to earn the Certificate by completing the follow up activities in Fall with our ESCALA coaches.

The Certificate of College Teaching and Learning (CTL) for HSIs (1 semester, 27 hours)
Summer Institute Plus Fall Follow-up Online

This is our hallmark program, and the only program we know of that includes both workshops and follow up coaching and implementation support.  This program can be offered on site to a cohort of 15-20 faculty on your campus, or through our Summer Institute format.  

Faculty are trained in the education and pedagogy research concerning minority student success in college. Through a combination of in person workshops, online modules, and individualized coaching, faculty are accountable for making real changes to their teaching through the design and implementation of a SoTL inspired teaching/learning project.  They receive support through an entire semester, and present their results at a conference or on campus to their colleagues. Faculty who complete this program are eligible to become ESCALA faculty peer coaches.

More than 200 faculty from HSIs in California, Washington, Colorado and New Mexico have completed the Certificate program. Read more here.
