Events

Everyone Can Teach Climate

On April 3rd, 2024 Barnard College and the Columbia Climate School will participate in the Worldwide Climate and Justice Education Week.

The aim is to engage in an inclusive conversation on our campus around scaling up and improving teaching climate and justice. Our theme is “Everyone Can Teach Climate” to emphasize that teaching about climate and our planetary future touches every aspect of society and hence engages all disciplines, schools and operations. This community gathering will encourage all of us, whether a climate expert or just climate curious, to think about how to teach about it. Come learn how to “Make Climate A Class”, integrate climate into an existing course, use campus as a learning space, improve operations, create new course ideas and more. 

Welcome

At the Center for Engaged Pedagogy, we believe that teaching and learning is a transformative process. Both students and teachers engage in meaningful teaching and learning practices that foster mutual growth and facilitate the collaborative cultivation of knowledge. We are committed to supporting and striving towards inclusive and innovative pedagogical practices that acknowledge diverse ways of knowing, forms of expertise, and academic pathways.

Generative AI Learning Community

In collaboration with the CEP, CSC, and BLAIS, IMATS is running a Generative AI Learning Community during the 2023-24 academic year. Open to students. faculty, and staff, this is a monthly, hybrid space where we can come together to learn about and play with this new technology in a supportive, collaborative environment. Discussion topics and activities will be driven by the interests of the participants.

Resources

Dialogue and Difference

This resource presents a snapshot of an ongoing project that is dedicated to exploring techniques for facilitating complex classroom dialogues. Both this snapshot and the larger project it is connected to are intended to be dynamic resources that the CEP will expand and revise as it learns about and experiments with different facilitation tools and processes.
