Interactive practice and coaching:
During your certification program, you will record live responses as you practice pieces of the Protocol for Courageous Conversations About Race. The purpose of course video responses: There are predictable patterns of responses when talking about race. As a CCAR Practitioner your goal in this certification course is to practice each piece of Protocol both from your internal perspective and by interacting with others in conversation. This will provide you with opportunities to process your own lived racial experiences and address the responses you can predict will surface when having courageous conversations about race. 
To record, your student ID is your first name and last initial (lowercase). You will use FLIP GRID to record your video responses throughout the course and receive emailed feedback per each recording. The Flip Grid Guide may be downloaded below.
NOTE: When you use the FlipGrid free Ap on your mobil device, it will save your module video to your device so that you can "replay" it once you receive your feedback.
