The goals of this workshop are to apply the Purdue Agriculture 2021-2026 College of Agriculture Inclusive Excellence Goal and development of the “Inclusive Excellence Continuum” and engage participants in examples of professional development activities to examine one’s beliefs, values and assumptions regarding cultural differences and social group memberships and experiences. This effort will introduce several resources which have been gathered by the Purdue Center for Intercultural Learning, Mentorship, Assessment and Research (CILMAR) and the Intercultural Learning Hub (HUBICL). Attendees will become more aware of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) Open Educational Resources (OER) resources and specifically apply the Intercultural Knowledge and Competence VALUE Rubric, the ASCD Globally Competent Learning Continuum and the Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity in our activities. This workshop directly addresses NACTA’s to provide for all post-secondary educators of agricultural, environmental, natural, and life sciences a forum for discussion of questions and issues relating to the professional advancement, recognition, and support of agricultural instruction. Workshop participants will evaluate how inclusion in, and exclusion from, social groups manifests and the relationship to the power and privilege of dominant cultures. Additionally, participants will learn how the Inclusive Excellence Continuum criteria, which includes how knowledge of self, others, and institutional culture undergirds academic leadership, mentoring, and advising can be applied at their institutions. This includes a direct impact on community development, engagement, policy, process, and practice and most of all the college culture. Participants will leave with a self-analysis of themselves and access to some of the intercultural learning resources and Purdue Cultural Worldview Framework activities. This workshop is designed to address one of today’s “hottest chili’s”, the critical competences needed to conduct effective conversations across cultural differences while attending to the “Cool Learning” themes of the core NACTA missions.
