This special pre-conference session is to train educators, administrators and staff in CRTL principles, and to prepare them to train others in their institutions. The CRTL Train-the-Trainer Institute covers one of two offered modules:</p><h3>Module 1: The Meanings of Culture and Race</h3><p>This module is considered foundational to our training. It explores the multiple meanings of culture and defines and explores race as a social construct. This workshop will lead participants through several activities that illustrate the CRTL principle that educators must always reflect on how the meanings of our cultures influence our interactions with others, particularly students. It explores the origins of race in the United States, as well as how its social construction leads to bias within our institutions. </p><h3>Module 2: Social Capital and Learning </h3><p>Participants will learn the concept of social capital: How the people one knows affect the development of one’s human capital, knowledge, skills, and abilities. In addition, participants will learn how to direct students’ efforts to expand their social capital networks of knowledge.  </p><p>*The CRTL Institute registration fee: $150 for full day of training and materials.
