Announcing BRIDGING THE COLLEGES
A Faculty Development Seminar for Community and Senior College Faculty in the Bronx
What are the academic literacies students need to succeed at CUNY?
What are the broad purposes of courses in the General Education curriculum?
How can collaboration among faculty in the CUNY Bronx schools smooth the transition from community to senior college?
What can we learn from visiting each other’s classrooms?
What can this collaboration teach us about the values we bring to our classrooms, the differences in our disciplines, and the ways we teach?
Join 12 CUNY faculty in a new initiative, Bridging the Colleges, during the 2009-2010 academic year.Explore the above questions in an interdisciplinary, inquiry-based seminar in which we examine theories and practices related to literacy development across the curriculum and design curriculum projects with colleagues from sister schools.
