New Inclusive Classroom Book Club 🗓

We invite all Pratt faculty to join our reading discussion group based on the book The New College Classroom by Cathy N. Davidson and Christina Katopodis this Spring semester.

  • Borrow an ebook from the Pratt Library:  9780674287525 The new college classroom: a practical guide to the future of college teaching https://cat.pratt.edu/record=b1392684
  • 3 online meetings on Mondays, 2-3 pm (Sept 8, Sept 15, Sept 22)

The New College Classroom is a guide to college teaching which begins to grapple with the way higher education has changed for the better. It covers new practices that could accompany these changes in order to serve professors and students better. This text includes information about “What the latest science of learning tells us about inspiring, effective, and inclusive teaching at the college level” covering topics such as “Structuring Active Learning,” “Democratic and Antiracist Pedagogy,” “Group Work without the Groans,” and more.

These casual book club sessions have been celebrated as a great chance for new and returning faculty members to meet weekly and find community as the semester gets up and running! Join us to share knowledge and questions with colleagues who you’ve never met before.

Eligible part-time faculty (FA25) qualify for a $250 stipend for attending 3 sessions.
