26 September 1:00 -- "How are We Doing?" -- an open discussion about our working conditions, the politics affecting our discipline, and what we're doing to teach our students. This conversation is open to full- and part-time English Studies faculty, including Dual Credit teachers.
To create an open and safe academic and disciplinary conversation, this is not an invite to administrators. Coffee klatch conversations are not recorded.
College Town: Creating Communities of Practice in Foundational English Courses
College Town: Creating Communities of Practice in Foundational English Courses
DATE: Friday 20 June, 12:00 Central, 11:00 Mountain
Registration Fee (free for TYCA-Southwest members); others will be asked to become members of TYCA-Southwest.
In this interactive workshop, participants will review recent findings on increased student enrollment and disengagement in foundational English courses (e.g., prerequisite, corequisite, first-year composition).
They will then learn about an ongoing research project that seeks to create communities of practice in foundational courses, gathering faculty, administrators, and community professionals to foster students' sense of belonging, purpose, and readiness in reading and writing. Participants will leave with practical and actionable steps to create their own communities of practice in their programs.
