Course Design Institute
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) is offering a course design institute that elevates inclusive teaching practices. During the four-day institute, participants will (re)design courses with careful attention to the ways they can help all students thrive through greater belonging and engagement. Each day participants will complete activities, have individual work time, and engage with peer sharing and student feedback.

Ungrading Workshop
What is ungrading? The CTL is partnering with faculty from the English Department to offer a hybrid ungrading workshop. MCC employees may register for the ungrading workshop only OR the ungrading workshop AND the course design institute. During the six-day workshop, participants will engage with real time discussions and activities and deep dive into equity and assessment topics via a Canvas course. Faculty completers will be invited to commit to fall term peer mentoring with ungrading faculty leads.
