Tisch Foundations
Tisch offers online training modules focused on our Tisch values to build community, support all backgrounds and perspectives to ensure students feel a sense of belonging, and provide tools for productively responding to challenges and conflicts. Modules contain 15-minute courses with interactive opportunities, detailed strategies to incorporate into community practice, and a downloadable resource for future reference.
Available for faculty, staff, and administrators, the modules are updated annually with new resources and biennially with new topics. The initial foundational training, developed in 2022 and introduced to the Tisch community during the 2022–2023 academic year, is currently undergoing a revision and will be available Fall 2025.
Stay tuned for additional information.
