What has teaching and learning looked like on campus this year? Which trends has CITL noticed through our conversations, consultations, and workshops? April’s lunch & learn explores, problematizes, and addresses the Bates-specific patterns of challenge and success. CITL will also place these alongside national trends (spoiler: Bates isn’t as special as we might think it is: What we’ve seen and heard maps onto what we’ve read about in scholarship and heard about from external colleagues). Oh! And there is lunch!

Walk to Dairy Joy with CITL for ice cream on us! Then grade in community! Meet outside Dana Hall (Alumni Walk side). Grade in Community will take place in the CITL lounge (Dana 216) from 12-4.

“Hike” up Mount David with Wells and Lindsey at 3 p.m. Meet outside Dana Hall (Alumni Walk side).

“Hike” up Mount David with Wells and Lindsey at 10 a.m. Meet outside Dana Hall (Alumni Walk side).

A no-agenda lunch to chat, chill, craft, and (of course!) game. Go through the lunch line.

Kick off finals week (and take a break from taxes) with tea and breakfast pastries in the CITL lounge in Dana.

For those interested in working through proposing, designing, and teaching RPPC courses.

Snacks provided.

HHMI BioInteractive has launched an Inclusive Teaching MOOC designed by Dr. Bryan Dewsbury and other experts in Inclusive Teaching. The course consists of six modules on developing an action plan, interrogating self and systems, nurturing empathy, and creating support structures.

We’ll meet alternating Wednesdays (12:00-1:15 p.m.) to discuss how these themes fit into our work. The modules do represent about 3 hours of “Homework” between meetings, but we’re bribing you with lunch, good company, and productive discussions.

January 15, January 29, February 12, February 26, March 12, March 26, and April 9
