All Courses Dept Secretary should set up Room Reservations (Learning Center Room Reservation) and order Materials (Materials Request Form or Materials Form from Course_Syllabus_Cover_Sheet.docx). Note on documentation if Staff Development should add charges for Materials to the class cost.

Multicultural, Gender Fair (MCGF) Needs: All instructors need to be aware of the course materials to make sure different cultural, racial, ethnic, and genders are represented in addition to students with and without physical challenges. A quick search of “multicultural” on the AEA’s WEBMAX yielded 444 items found including numerous videos, books, and CDs for professional and student use. Searching “gender” yields 71 items, including 27 DE Streaming items.
