10/26/22 Civic Action in the Classroom Faculty Learning Community
As we as a society and a nation engage with the ongoing repercussions of 2020 – The Pandemic, the Elections, the Protests, and the Census – there are plentiful reasons for Bellevue College students to see the connections between their coursework and the world around them. Through this learning community, you will plan a civic action component for an upcoming course, through which your students will actively contribute to shaping their world, better understand course content, build lifelong skills, and connect more deeply with their classmates.
Through the four two-hour sessions of this learning community, you will plan a civic action component for an upcoming course. The topics will include:
- Civic Engagement
- Civic Action and the Remote Environment
- Critical Reflection
- Deliberative Dialogue
You may have some minimal pre-readings, and you will work on your course between sessions, as needed. The hope is you will feel prepared to offer this civic component in an upcoming quarter. As this learning community is collaborative, you will engage with, learn from, and support faculty from across the community and technical college system. Included in this learning community is a one-on-one advising conversation with the program facilitator.
Four Wednesdays, October 26-November 16, 1:30–3:30pm
