The Caracol of Becoming
Write your awesome label here.
Module Description
In this module, you will turn your attention inward, to reflect on your identities, experiences, attitudes, and values and how these impact the way you show up with your Latinx students, colleagues, and work. In the module we conceptualize identity, not as labels that we use to describe ourselves, but rather look at identity as the attitudes and values that we develop about ourselves and others and that impact how we navigate and interact in the world. Thus, we will explore identity as a function of time and space. You will explore your identities throughout past experiences and by envisioning your future self.

 Will be available April 3rd, 2026
