Midterms Madness: Workshopping your Midterm Assignment
Friday, February 27th, 2026, at 11:00 AM on Zoom
The semester started strong, and your students are putting points on the board. But now it’s almost time for midterms. Are you ready for the test? Going open book, blue book, or booking presentation slots? Join the TLC on Zoom for a midterms workshop* to refine and improve your assignment, whether it be an essay, exam, presentation, or something else. Help your students drive to the basket!
Feel free to bring any assignment you want to workshop, even if it’s not a midterm. Bring a draft or an idea of the assignment you want to develop.

Teaching on the CUNY Academic Commons, Wednesday, March 4th, 202,6 at 12:30 PM on Zoom
Across CUNY, faculty are teaching a variety of graduate and undergraduate courses on the CUNY Academic Commons. Faculty use course sites to host OER course materials, foster student engagement with one another and wider publics, and develop assignments that move beyond a standard final paper or reading response. This workshop will provide an overview of teaching on the Commons and highlight several courses that can serve as models of open pedagogy in action.
This workshop is open to the public as part of Open Education Week, hosted by OE Global.

“Realizing the Dream of a Black University”: Pedagogy Workshop on Toni Cade Bambara, Wednesday, March 4th, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Martin E. Segal Theatre
In 2017, the Center for the Humanities’ Lost & Found: The CUNY Poetics Document Initiative published Toni Cade Bambara’s teaching archives, “Realizing the Dream of a Black University,” in a chapbook series that also included June Jordan and Audre Lorde’s archives, after its 2013 publication of Adrienne Rich‘s teaching archives. These “CUNY teaching archives” have circulated widely and fostered new directions in scholarship and movements that embrace these luminous figures’ legacies. To honor Bambara’s relationship to CUNY, New York City, and beyond, this pedagogical workshop will welcome Makeba Lavan and Conor Tomás Reed, in collaboration with GC students, Lucien Baskin, Janelle Poe, and Jenna Queenan, to discuss how to ignite learning spaces with inspiration from Bambara’s own teaching practices. This free workshop is open to all CUNY students and adjuncts. Space is limited.
