| 12:00 AM - 1:50 AM | Water Tower Hike
FLEX # 506
Come explore the Butte College wildlife refuge by getting a bird’s eye view of the campus. We’ll take an early morning hike while ascending to the top of Water Tower Butte. While up there, you can see the entire campus. On our descent, we’ll hike down the north side and follow the blue oak loop back to the campus. Please be sure to wear sturdy closed-toed shoes. Sun protection and water can be quite handy as well. It is an uphill trek, so get ready to get your heart pumping. Attendees will meet in front of the Life Science building, LS107. | |
| 9:00 AM - 10:20 AM | CTE Ethics/Business Ethics
FLEX # 102
Are Corp the root of all evil? Are industry standards just a matter of opinion? What are my employees obligated to do really? Ethics are great and all, but how do they pay my bills? Should CTE programs be supplying businesses with employees? Discussions on these kinds of moral dilemmas are painfully absent from our contemporary industry lexicon. Trade schools rarely touch them. Explore some anti-finger-wagging ethical discourse in a pragmatic approach to how we live and work in the Industrial Arts. Let's explore where policy can coordinate with political and personal values. (Yes, we will omit the work of Emmanuel Kant for this workshop.) | |
| 9:00 AM - 10:20 AM | Tips for More Inclusive Classroom
FLEX # 605
Addressing the unique needs of students from diverse backgrounds is one of the major challenges facing community college education.

But with a few minor changes, classrooms can be transformed into an inclusive and inviting environment. | |

FLEX # 203

What you don’t know about your rights and student due process can cause both you and the student unnecessary problems. Topics of discussion will include: What constitutes disruption? How do you report an incident? What happens after you submit a report? | |

| 3:00 PM - 3:50 PM | Introduction to Mnemonics
FLEX # 103.1
Would you like to improve your memory? Mnemonic systems are strategies that anyone can learn and use to remember more. We often wish we had a better memory: we’d be less forgetful; we’d learn more things; we’d be more effective in our courses; and retain more of our lives. The good news is that we can all improve our memories by using time-tested and evidence-based mnemonic strategies. “Mental athletes” may astound us by their impressive feats of memory, like memorizing decks of playing cards quickly, long lists of words or numbers, or reciting pages after page of texts verbatim. They will all tell you, however, that they don’t have a special memory – they simply use mnemonics. And you can too! In this series of workshops, you will learn a number of mnemonic techniques you can apply immediately to improve your memory. This series will cover three systems – the Peg (introductory) and Phonetic (advanced) Systems, in addition to learning how to memorize names and faces. | |
