About the Course

This is ESCALA's signature course that develops leadership in faculty teaching Latinx students. CTL-HSI was first offered in 2014 and remains, a decade later, the only teaching-based course in the U.S. that focuses on increasing Latinx student engagement and learning in the higher education classroom. The ESCALA CTL-HSI is developed and taught by HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) teaching faculty, so that it remains relevant and practice-focused. The course follows best practices in professional learning by creating a cohort-based experience that includes coaching and a structured inquiry on a course faculty are actively teaching.

I used to think that altering my teaching practices would be disruptive and risky—that students might resist, and that my efforts might fail.  But now I believe that small, thoughtful changes... can generate synergistic effects. Students feel more supported, I feel more energized, and inequities in grades and retention are beginning to decrease.
