CTEI Communities of Practice, Care, and Play (“CTEI Communities”) are monthly opportunities to connect and collaborate with peers on a shared teaching interest (ranging in overarching themes and in month-to-month topics) in low-stakes-but-high-impacts ways.
These are virtual conversational spaces across place and time to bring YU and TFS faculty and instructors together as whole people from our social-rhetorical locations, academic communities, and instructional contexts to explore pedagogical themes. These Communities aim to prioritize our ethics of care as a guiding principle by embodying our Core Values and our Signature Learning Outcomes (SLOs) through justice-driven, access-oriented, and equitable pedagogies and practices. Together, CTEI Communities will nurture and embody accountable, relational, experimental, and human-centred approaches to teaching and learning – all on-site, online, synchronous, asynchronous, and across modalities.
