“The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the
academy.”
--bell hooks
How do we know when we are educating our students to be truly
independent thinkers? Is that the real purpose of our teaching? Should
it be? How do we address students who resist non-traditional teaching
methods?
Bring your successes, bring your challenges, and brainstorm with your
colleagues using the provocative ideas of bell hooks’ book, Teaching
to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom.
This series of conversations will spur us to imagine what kind of
classroom we want to create and develop the practical steps for making
our vision a reality.

What the Best College Teachers Do [When They Teach Online] - 5-week hybrid
workshop
Thursdays: February 9, February 23, and March 8, 3-5pm
The Faculty Center, 600 S. Michigan Ave, 8th
Floor
"You don't teach a class. You teach a student."
—Ken Bain
Bring your successes, bring your challenges, and brainstorm with your
colleagues using the collective wisdom of hundreds of the top faculty
in the nation. Inspired by Ken Bain’s book, What the Best College
Teachers Do (Harvard, 2004), this workshop explores what works and
what doesn’t in promoting authentic learning for students.
The Center for Innovation and Teaching Excellence presents this new
hybrid workshop as a combination of three face to face meetings while
workshop participants are engaged in vigorous online discourse. This
provocative dialogue—intended for both veteran Columbia faculty and
those brand new to our community—will examine what we really do when we
teach, and how we know if we’re actually helping our students learn.
This series will meet, in person, three times on
Thursday, February 9, 3-5pm;
Thursday, February 23, 3-5pm; and
Thursday, March 8, 3-5pm.
Additionally, there will be online coursework involved for the entire 5
weeks, from February 9 until the series' conclusion on March 8.
