City Tech 101 4-Session Professional Development June 2024

• Discussion: Reflection on Reflections
• Challenges faced by City Tech students (by Sarah Paruolo)
• Panel discussion with CT101 faculty
•  Activity: personalizing the curriculum
• Wrap up, discuss deliverables

Please complete the final reflection (and any others you haven’t done) by Friday, June 28: 

Reflection: What are the challenges of using a curriculum and teaching materials that you didn’t create? What can you do to help yourself use those materials effectively and comfortably?

Deliverables: 

• Complete reflections 1-4
• Personalize four slides each from two different sessions (8 total); submit to OpenLab

• Welcome back, responding to reflection questions
• Discussion of the week-two reading
• Intro to CT101 Session 4
• Visit from peer mentor David Mendez Medina: How PMs can provide support for Session 4A

Reflection: The article we discussed today discusses the impact that the feeling of “fitting in: and having a “sense of belonging” can have on student success. Our CT101 workshop is only four days long. What are some things we can do in that span of time to build belonging and community among our students?
