Clearlake >> Lake County Campus of Woodland Community College presents Dr. Ruby Payne at the Konocti Education Center, Cornelison Event Center on Friday starting at 3:45 p.m. and concluding at 6:30 p.m. Her presentation topic will be “Understanding and Engaging Under-Resourced College Students.”
Payne is known for her books such as “A Framework for Understanding Poverty” and “Bridges out of Poverty.”
This workshop will address the needs of the under-resourced college student and provides a wealth of resources for post-secondary education. The professional development moves faculty and staff through a transformational process by first building understanding of the “what and why” of under-resourced college students, to developing the “how-to” teaching and program design strategies to help students succeed.
Participants will learn to use teaching strategies to build cognitive ability, develop high-impact community engagement strategies and redesign programs to better serve students in poverty. Learn new ways to break the barriers that poverty creates for many adult students
The event center is located at 15850 Dam Road Extension in the back of the Konocti Education Center.
Admission is free to everyone. Lake County Campus obtained an adult education grant which has helped fund this workshop.
