Welcome!

Thank you for taking part in our professional development workshop for new instructors of City Tech 101, the student success workshop!

This site contains information and links to resources that will be useful for our workshop. Please feel free to explore its different elements.

This site is where you will complete your daily reflection after each session of our workshop. Go to the “Reflections” tab at the top of the page and follow the directions.

This site also closely mimics the OpenLab course sites that you will eventually create for your CT101 students. (You don’t need to do this from scratch! There is a model course available for you to clone.) As you use this site for the workshop, consider how your experience might be similar to or different from that of our students.
