We know how hectic this past few months &years have been for an #EquityPractitioner . Similar to teams across the sector, @UTSSocialImpact student equity team keeps going above and beyond to deliver best outcomes for students #equitymatters#Collaboration#teamwork@UTSEngage 👏
We try not to be critical, but the pronunciation during multicultural round has been disappointing. A few clubs produced videos this week of players saying their names & that’s still made no difference. It’s proof that our work, in particular our short course is essential.
Insightful session by @amanda_mm & Bronwyn Williams on designing initiatives for Pasifika communities:
1. Know your sts as individuals & the cultures in which they identify
2. Develop relationships w/ Pasifika sts, families & communities
3. Have high expectations for Pasifika sts
"We are more than capable of academic excellence and there are already so many great exemplars from our Pasifika communities - but students need to be shown that." High school students visit @UTSFass as part of @UTSSocialImpact Pasifika Experience Day. https://t.co/Gfn41CIMq0
Next Tuesday, 17 August join @amanda_mm of @UTSSocialImpact and Bronwyn Williams of @westernsydneyu as they discuss how nuanced and culturally appropriate design can lead to better engagement outcomes and empower Australian-Pacific learners.
