Following a welcome address at 9 a.m., the TEACHxWSU 2024 keynote address and workshop will start at 9:30 a.m., delivered virtually by Tia Brown McNair, lead author of Becoming a Student-Ready College: A New Culture of Leadership for Student Success. Guests are invited to join keynote watch parties at WSU Pullman, Vancouver, Tri-Cities, Everett, and Spokane to view the virtual presentation together.
The WSU Teaching Academy, event host, is using the book for its One-Read Book Club. The book provides a roadmap for achieving higher levels of student engagement, retention, and completion by centering community, belonging, and inclusion.
McNair’s TEACHxWSU keynote topic is, “Are you a student-ready leader? Our shared responsibility for advancing student success and belonging.”
She will explore promising strategies for building and sustaining a student-ready learning environment that seeks to educate the whole student and embraces student diversity. Another subject will be strengthening individual and institutional capacity to become more student-ready leaders to achieve strategic goals that align with institutional values. And, she will discuss how to enhance collaborations across divisions to fully prepare all students for work, life, and productive citizenship.
