Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Certification with Marjorie Duffy
Creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive classroom requires dedication and effort. But the efforts are well worth the results. California educator, Marjorie Duffy, has seen the results firsthand.
Marjorie has been teaching Microsoft apps for over 20 years at Cosumnes River College (CRC) in Sacramento. CRC is one of the most ethnically diverse two-year colleges in the country and Marjorie believes that adding specific, measurable skills to her students’ resumes is an important part of her work. She’s been delighted to be able to offer certification opportunities to her students since 2015.
During this episode, we talked with Marjorie about what it’s like to work with such a diverse group of students. We talk about all different kinds of diversity (in age, in race and ethnicity, in economic standing) and the impact that diversity has on the classroom. Marjorie talks about how she’s evolved her teaching approach over the years, to provide students a more inclusive learning experience. Plus, she shares how she’s learned from her students. In her words, “If you want to help learners, you have to be a learner.”
