How Can I Plan (or Revise) My Courses More Efficiently? Do you have a system or standard process for preparing a course you’ve taught before? Where do you start? Often, planning revolves around syllabus revision, closing loopholes, and adjusting dates. What most of us need is a strategic, instructionally sound set of steps to help guide our decision-making. A four-step model considering the big picture goals, major content areas, calendar implications, and assessments. |

Reclaiming the Purpose of Teacher Education: Workshop & Q&A
A workshop, Q&A, and book signing with author and academic Dr. Nicole Mirra, Associate Professor of Urban Teacher Education at Rutgers University. Rather than preparing educators to survive in the world as it is, what would it look like to support them to build the world that could be with students and communities? In this talk, Dr. Mirra proposes that we must deconstruct traditional norms and practices of K-12 and teacher education and imagine alternate models of teaching, learning, researching, loving, and dreaming in order to construct equitable democratic futures. Dr. Mirra's talk will offer a framework and strategies that invite collective imagining about the ethics, commitments, and practices that can guide our field forward with urgency and empathy. |
