BMCC Faculty Chat via SLACK

By Michael DeStefano on December 7, 2020 2

You know what I miss most about being on campus? I miss bumping into a colleague in the hallway, walking and talking on the way to class… There is no perfect substitute for in-person conversation, but CETLS is offering an informal, alternative that we hope can help as we move forward with our off-campus lives. Introducing our “BMCC Faculty” workspace, via SLACK.

Seeing Myself in my Students

By Catherine Mbewe on November 20, 2020 18

I firmly believe that if an instructor is self-aware and takes the time to reflect on how to practice compassion, the act of being present for students may encourage the student to keep on trying rather than giving up. How you show up for your students makes all the difference.

By Lisa Panzera on November 13, 2020 1

In a moment when we are all relying on digital images and virtual connections, the need to experience art in a tangible way feels incredibly essential for many of us. We at the Shirley Fiterman Art Center are excited to safely “open” the exhibition ID: Formations of the Self, which can be experienced exclusively through the gallery windows.

Teaching 9/11 in the Age of Pandemic and Protest

By Jason Ostrowe on September 11, 2020 1

How does one teach 9/11, an event which shapes the world that we inhabit, the places we frequent, and even the air we breathe?

Let’s Talk about Teaching

By John Beaumont on February 26, 2020 0

I’m always looking for chances to talk about teaching and how our students learn. Two BMCC programs - Open Teaching Week and Peer Teaching Consultations - offer opportunities for us to have more of these conversations.

No Attendance Policy? No Problem!

By Chris Vinsonhaler on February 18, 2020 5

CUNY’s new rule eliminating credit for class attendance turns the focus to participation. But how to credit participation effectively? One approach is to start each class with a written reflection on the readings required for that day.

Land Acknowledgment at BMCC

By jean amaral on December 9, 2019 5

Land acknowledgments are an invitation to engage in the hard, uncomfortable work of decolonization by making the invisible visible. While a land acknowledgment makes visible settler colonialism and indigenous erasure, decolonization will only happen in partnership with indigenous peoples.
