Black Ally Program – “Dismantling Anti-Blackness on Your Campus: Core Competencies for Allies”

Welcome to the professional development program on Supporting Men of Color in the Community College. Prior to beginning the course you will need to access the book that accompanies the training. The book is available in e-format and access can be purchased here. If your campus is a current partner, contact your representative for information on how to access the book.

Following the completion of each activity, you will need to mark the activity as “Complete”.

To complete the program, learners must complete the following activities:

1. Complete PRE-ASSESSMENT and POST ASSESSMENT.

2. Review all video modules– There are four video modules in all. Our learning management system allows participants and faculty to review learner progress in completing video modules.

3. Read the assigned readings– There are assigned readings that are aligned with each of the modules. It is an expectation that readings will be completed before reviewing the module. The readings are comprehensive in nature, as such, we recommend planning ahead to ensure readings are completed on schedule. Comprehension of material will be gauged through the live interactive sessions.

4. Attend the live video sessions– As part of the training, learners will have access to course faculty during live video sessions. This is an opportunity to ask questions and engage in dialogue that is solution-oriented. It is expected that all learners will attend at least one live session. The live video sessions take place on select Wednesdays and Fridays from 4:00-5:00 pm Pacific Time (7:00 EST). Live sessions will be recorded and sent out for those who are unable to attend.

5. Complete short quizzes– Following each recorded presentation you will complete a brief quiz assessing your understanding of the material. Quizzes can be completed an unlimited number of times. It is recommend that you re-take quizzes until you correctly answer all questions.

6. Participate in asynchronous discussion forums– As you complete each module, we encourage you to identify questions, comments, and reactions to the material as well as relevant resources and post them in the discussion forums. This is an opportunity for learners to engage in dialogue and knowledge sharing.
