Office/Remote Location
Description
"Asset-Based Teaching: Leveraging UNLV Students’ Strengths" is a workshop series that introduces asset-based teaching—a student-centered approach that recognizes learners’ cultural knowledge, lived experiences, and community strengths as powerful resources for learning. This framework challenges deficit-based narratives and emphasizes that fostering inclusion and connection in the classroom enhances, rather than diminishes, academic rigor. Adapted from an NSF-funded professional development program created by UNLV faculty for use across Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI's) facilitated by UNLV faculty and the Teaching and Learning Commons. Faculty completing four sessions earn the Asset-Based Teaching digital badge.
Session 4: "Where Learning Happens" identifies places where discipline specific learning happens outside of classrooms and discuss connections between academic content and lived experiences that can enhance learning.
