Engaging Students Through Labor Studies at LA Valley College Opening Day

Published on Thursday, 24th June, 2010 at 10:17AM

DHLI will be co-hosting a special workshop with faculty at LA Valley College on Opening Day.

Discover new ways to engage students by connecting what you teach to issues that affect them.  Presenters from the Dolores Huerta Labor Institute, the Southern California Library, and LAVC will share creative strategies and resources for incorporating labor studies into your classes and developing new curriculum.  We will cover:

  • How to get students interested in social justice issues and see the relevance of their educational experience to issues affecting their lives
  • What Valley faculty are doing to enhance the learning experience 
  • Resources faculty can use to enhance their classes and motivate students

Labor History Classes Offered Spring 2010 at Harbor College!

Published on Wednesday, 11th November, 2009 at 12:58PM
History 81: A History of Working People in the United States 1 and History 82: A History of Working People in the United States 2 will now be offered at Harbor College. This upcoming Spring 2010, history instructor, Ellen Joiner will be teaching both History 81 and 82.
 
These classes are already offered at East LA College. They are similar to the History 11 and 12 courses, except they approach history from the perspective of the working people of the United States (a bottom up perspective) as opposed to mainly the perspective of individual figures in history (top down perspective). Both courses satisfy the American Institutions/US Constitution requirement and are UC and CSU transferable. They also satisfy UC IGETC.
