Tara Yosso's Community Cultural Wealth,
The Dream Big Club at Garfield Campus is hosting a series of events for students to learn about the 6 different types of Community Cultural Wealth. Welcome to credit and noncredit faculty who want to learn more about cultural wealth and how our students embody these various types of it.
Faculty are invited to participate alongside students and hear students' examples of cultural wealth in this series going deep with: 1) aspirational capital 2) linguistic capital 3) familial capital 4) navigational capital 5) social capital 6) resistance capital.
As you participate, please keep the space a student-focused space and focus on observation and learning about the 6 types of community cultural wealth.
