Digital Bridge Academy’s Faculty Experiential Learning Institute
June 8–14, 2009
The Digital Bridge Academy Faculty Experiential Learning Institute (FELI) exposes participants to the transformative exercises and curriculum used with students during the first two weeks of the Digital Bridge Academy semester at Cabrillo College, Berkeley City College, Las Positas College and Hartnell College.
The results have been positive, and faculty members have valued the opportunity to build a community, to discuss teaching with other instructors, and to develop new tools and understanding for working with students, especially students who come from poverty. An evaluation of the FELI by UCSC’s Center For Justice, Tolerance and Community is available.
Participants have included Cabrillo faculty members from many disciplines, ranging from English and Math to Basic Skills, Biology, Chemistry, CIS, Counseling, Dance, Anthropology, History, Early Childhood Education, and Sociology.
If this opportunity interests you or you would like to obtain an evaluation, please contact Beth Nelson, DBA Program Manager for additional information at benelson@cabrillo.edu or 477-3272.
