This series invites members to talk with their colleagues and gain support in the areas they identify as most salient right now. Here’s a brief overview of the agenda for each session. Please note that we’ve kept these sketches rather rough to ensure that you, our members, have the opportunity to direct the conversation to the areas of most immediate concern for you as teachers.
Session 1—Thursday, November 14, 2024, 5:00 p.m. ET
We’re here to hear from you: What’s going on right now in your teaching, in your classroom, with your students, or in relation to your program? What’s at the top of your mind? What kind of conversations do you want to have with your colleagues? What kind of support can we provide? We’ll use facilitated breakout rooms to hear your concerns and identify topics for future discussion.
Session 2—Thursday, December 5, 2024, 6:00 p.m. ET
Building on the patterns observed during Session 1, facilitators will host breakout discussions and mini-workshops in each identified area of interest. Attendees will receive readings, ideation activities, and additional resources in advance of the session, and will leave with clear takeaways and suggestions.
Session 3—Thursday, January 23, 2025, 4:00 p.m. ET
What next? This session looks forward to possibilities that can continue to support members around teaching. We’ll consider whether communities of practice should be formed, whether we can provide specific resources or support, and what kinds of conversations we may want to have in the future.
Though these sessions build on one another, participants may attend one, two, or three sessions. To ensure productive conversation, we will treat these circles as safe and brave spaces wherein we honor each other’s identities, perspectives, and concerns and remain cognizant of our own. These sessions will not be recorded.
These events are available exclusively to CCCC members. Not a member? Join today!
