Opportunities for NWTC Employees
Inclusively Course Series
Research studies have shown that “the academic achievement of ethnically diverse students will improve when they are taught through their own cultural and experiential filters.”* NWTC’s Inclusively Course Series are sessions designed to provide employees with tools that we can use to create that inclusive environment and increase student learning.
