Transformative Learning in the Humanities

Transformative Learning in the Humanities is a three-year initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The grant supports public talks, symposia, and workshops as well as a series of intensive peer-to-peer faculty seminars for CUNY faculty at all ranks (including adjuncts) in the humanities, arts, and interpretive social sciences. The program focuses on equitable, creative, student-centered pedagogical research and methods designed for the rich diversity of CUNY students; greater recognition for the importance of teaching; and the role of an urgent and indispensable humanities for the future of CUNY students and a more just and equitable society.

An opportunity to learn team-based teaching methods with Lea Fridman

    Passing on this message from Lea Fridman, an English Professor at Kingsborough Community College…

     

    Dear Colleagues:

    I gave a TLH seminar last February on this high-impact and transformative pedagogy:  Team As Support. I would like to offer a series of 4 workshops over the summer so that teachers who are interested in implementing this powerful tool will be prepared for the Fall. I have intensive trainings in “teamwork” and this pedagogy is specifically targeted to the CUNY demographic: students who are economically vulnerable and more often than not, are also working. It has been life-saving for students, particular at this time of global crisis.

    If you are interested in participating, please reach out to Lea W. Fridman at leafridman120@gmail.com
