Following the keynote, participants will transition into an interactive workshop focused on aligning goals for teaching writing at the high school level and at NOVA. Light refreshments will be provided.
The 2023 featured summer institute speaker is Dr. April Baker-Bell. Summer institute attendees will engage in an interactive keynote and workshop on culturally responsive, antiracist pedagogy. Participants will leave with a virtual workbook toolkit and concrete actionable ideas to incorporate in their teaching.
Participants will learn about transparent assignment design, problem-based learning and culturally responsive pedagogy, and leave with several redesigned assignments for use in their ENG-111 courses. The 2023 summer institute will be held on the Woodbridge Campus. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided each day. Participants will leave the Institute with several redesigned assignments to use in their ENG-111 classes that align with both the new ENG-111 course content and the QEP goals.
