Teaching in Progress Workshop

TIP is a place where we engage in peer learning to enhance our teaching -- in general and especially as it relates to issues of identity, diversity and inclusion.  In each session, a faculty member brings a knotty question or experience (a mini-case) to the group.  We will dig in and see what we can all learn from the conversation (rather than simply giving advice to the faculty member).  In the past, casewriters have brought difficult in-class or out-of-class interactions, questions about how to teach a particular race-related topic or design a syllabus, and the like.

Our first TIP of the Semester will be Thursday, October 24th at 11:45am in the Jersey Conference Room. We will be considering a case based on two separate incidents and their outcome at another NYU school. In this case, the difficulty came not during classroom instruction, but outside of it between two students and it touches on many of the issues we often deal with in TIP workshops.  Come have lunch and help us hash out this case and find out what happened. 

This semester we are considering two cases with decision points that are primarily outside of the classroom. One that involves students communicating with each other about class and another that involves a readings on a syllabus by a scholar who was accused of sexual harassment and discrimination. TIPs will take place on Thursday October 24 and Thursday December 19 at 11:45-12:45.
