Data storytelling is the best way to use data to create new knowledge and new decisions or actions.

It is an integrative practice that incorporates knowledge and skills from several disciplines, including communication, analysis and design. In this workshop, we will be exploring data analytics tools and how to use them in telling a great story about your data.

Faculty and staff are well-positioned to recognize behaviour that may indicate that a learner is in distress and may require support. Being able to recognize the signs of distress and make appropriate referrals are critical first steps in referring a learner for support.  

As such, Student Wellness and Equitable Learning is excited to share an updated version of the ‘Yellow Folder’. Recognizing, Responding and Supporting Learners in Distress will help you take steps to support learners experiencing difficulty, provide referrals to resources, as well as tips for taking care of yourself. 

Learn strategies for supporting learners in distress. Attend a training session on:

• Wednesday, March 15 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (North Campus)
• Friday, March 17 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (Lakeshore Campus)

Join us for this introduction to solving challenges and opportunities.

This is where we have some fun understanding why we work so well with some people and not so well with others. From this workshop, we will explore how the Basadur Simplexity Profile, developed by Dr. Min Basadur, sets the stage for optimizing how we solve challenges and opportunities both individually and collectively.

This intro workshop is a pre-requisite for Simplexity Level 1 for Problem-Solving.

Facilitator Bio:

Debra Pickfield, MBA (Leadership), BA Social Sciences (Economics) is a dedicated “Minion” as she has facilitated Simplexity sessions for more than 10 years and watched groups navigate from frustration to “ahhh – we get it” as they explore what is the real issue seeking to be solved. Debra’s commitment to recognizing problem-solving as a key driver of innovation is what brings her to Humber College. She is looking forward to sharing her passion and supporting anyone or any team as they learn a new skill to approach any opportunity or challenge facing them.
