We are pleased to announce the first annual Winter Faculty Convocation. This is an opportunity for all BMCC faculty to gather to discuss teaching and learning in support of student success.
Faculty Convocation will take place on Friday, January 27, 2017 at 199 Chambers Street, starting with an all-faculty meeting at 10 a.m. in Theater One. We will have the opportunity to talk about what we mean by student success and how we create the conditions under which all students can learn. We also will hear from BMCC’s 2016 Distinguished Teaching Award winners John Beaumont, Chamutal Noimann, and Nicholas Marino.
From 1:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon, faculty-led interactive sessions on high impact teaching practices will be held around the Chambers Street building. Topics will include service learning, faculty mentored research, critical and creative thinking, flipped classrooms, facilitating difficult dialogues, and more.
All faculty are invited and welcome. Refreshments will be served, including a light lunch.
Please go to https://bmccfacultyconvocation.eventbrite.com to register for the event and give us an indication of which break-out topics are of most interest to you.
We look forward to seeing you in January for what we hope will become an important BMCC tradition.
