2020 Learning Institute To Focus On Teaching Through A Pandemic And Anti-Racism Education

This spring’s Learning Institute in the CTLR will feature sessions on reflecting about the experience teaching this spring, building community in the classroom, choosing to teach in person or remote in the fall, and intentional anti-racist education.

The main goal of the institute is to bring faculty and staff together to reflect on the challenges we all are facing as we do our work in these difficult times and to share helpful ideas, approaches, and resources as we seek to realize our goals.

The institute is a complement to the programs that the Office of Digital Learning and Inquiry (DLINQ) is offering to help faculty prepare for teaching in the fall of 2020.

All sessions will be held on Tuesday, June 30 by Zoom. See additional details and register.
