CAA200 – Investigations into Economic Class in America

More students from poverty seek postsecondary education every year, but a mere 33% achieve a degree or certificate within six years of enrolling.

This workshop prepares facilitators of Investigations into Economic Class in America, a curriculum for under-resourced college students.

Participants explore the content, processes, and sequences in the Investigations text and develop facilitation skills that allow students to take on the role of knowledge creator.

Benefits:

  • Fundamentally different approach to entry-level student support strategies
  • Trusts students to meet their own needs as they learn to better understand them, which generates transformational change
  • Examines individual behaviors and political/economic systems that contribute to poverty

The workshop also includes opportunities to address the needs of specific populations and build on institutional strengths.
