Table Talks

Our action forums are designed to create a space of inclusion and collaboration that will increase the levels of cultural competency, sensitivity and awareness of students in the teacher education program with Table Talks on education issues. Table Talks provide a place to discuss relevant current topics in education once a month during the semester.

Topic Proposals should be brief and include the following:

  • Topic
  • Learning Outcomes
  • Month preference if applicable

We look forward to creating a space of Challenge, Support and Learner Empowerment at Table Talks!
