Foundations of IE Certificate Level One
We're pleased to announce our new and approved Foundations of Inclusive Excellence (IE) Certificate Level One! The new Foundational IE Certificate Level One consists of four modules.
Module 1: Identity and Culture
In this first module, participants develop a nuanced understanding of the concepts of identity and culture. Considering social identity categories, personal traits, and social roles, participants examine their own identities and examine how identities may change over time. Drawing from a cultural orientations model, participants will map their own cultural orientations to consider how our cultures and identities inform one another.
