Let’s celebrate all of the teaching innovation that has been happening in learning environments across GCC in these past few years, both on-site and online! We invite you to think about the ways in which you’ve centered students in your teaching, and to consider sharing one or more of them at our Innovation Expo! We’re all juggling so much both in our roles at GCC and beyond, so check out the prompts below to get those brainstorming juices flowing, to remind you of all the wonderful work you’re doing.
Have you:
- Made a shift in the last few years motivated by a desire to increase retention or success in your class?
- Redesigned some aspect of an assignment, assessment, or teaching because of hoping to scaffold it better for student learning?
- Changed grading practices, in an effort to reduce anxiety for students?
- Made shifts to diversify voices in your course materials?
- Redesigned your course to be more culturally responsive or culturally sustaining?
- Done work to address equity gaps or access to learning opportunities for students of color?
- Worked hard to humanize your online classroom?
- Returned to in person instruction and learned a lot about what is needed for the transition to support our students now?
- Attended a conference and made shifts after reflection?
- Contextualized an assignment, assessment, or course differently than before?
- Taken the courses involved in the Certificate program for Inclusive Teaching Practices for Equitable Learning and made shifts to your course as part of your work?
- Done something else in attempts to create belonging for students in your classes?
Guided Pathways and the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Grant would like to invite you to present on the innovative learning strategies you’re experimenting with! This poster session will take place on May 10th, 2023. There will be time slots available throughout the day.
This poster session seeks to share that classroom innovation is a process over time. What phase are you in?
-- Visioning and Designing - You are getting a plan ready for the next term!
-- Trying and Evaluating - you tried new things and are evaluating their effectiveness with students.
-- Redesigning and Re-Evaluating - you tried something through one iteration and are learning from how it went.
-- Sharing an Iterative Success - you tried something, redesigned, and then re-evaluated it, and you're starting to see clear success!
-- Other!
