Through this course, our goal is to create a “learning community” of faculty, scholars, advisors and administrators. These individuals are drawn from a variety of departments, so they mirror, in many respects, a typical classroom of first-year college students who may or may not know each other before they enter the training.

Building Comunidad (Community)

Virtual Gallery Walk is an active learning strategy where students move in groups or individually through different stations where questions and prompts are posted for students to share knowledge and work collaboratively. This exercise, a “gallery walk” icebreaker, is called “Conocimiento” and is used in Catch the Next trainings and has its origins in the Chicano movement, where it was used as a way to foster dialogue and understanding among those gathered to work for the Movimiento. This activity also includes questions to facilitate setting norms in the classroom.
