CMCI runs a workshop series devoted to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion in our classrooms. These workshops are open to anyone who teaches in the college and designed for all levels of experience.

Ìý

To accelerate cultural change, a cohort of CMCIÌýstaff,Ìýgraduate students, and faculty, or Inclusive Pedagogy Ambassadors, are committed to attend the entire series and share the results of the experience with their colleagues.Ìý

This year, we will engage with how imagination is inextricable from our pedagogical practices, spaces of learning, curriculum development and design, and assessment strategies. Consequently, this year is appropriately namedÌýThe Imagination Series.Ìý

This series centers our approach to imagination and how it is constitutive of our teaching. Over five spring sessions we will be guided by the following questions: How can imagination be employed as a pedagogical paradigm? How does imagination emerge in your classroom practices? How do we understand the stakes of the moment and arrive in ways that rely on our capacity to imagine? How do we teach in this moment of urgency specifically at a Historically White Institution in Boulder, CO? And how do we reimagine our measures of success and how we understand our commitments as pedagogical leaders? How we teach, what we teach, and when we teach are all informed by our capacity to imagine ourselves as meaningful participants in thinking and learning.

All CMCI staff, graduate students and faculty are invited to the workshops.

Plan for the 2024/2025 Academic Year

The workshops will run throughout the academic year, generally from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. on Friday each month. Sessions ill be led by knowledgeable facilitators.
