The Great Questions Foundation Summer Course Redesign Workshops focus on incorporating the discussion-based study of texts from our list in general education courses at community colleges. In each workshop, 10 community college faculty members will collaborate with two experienced faculty leaders on developing student-centered study questions, assignments and a redesigned syllabus for a general education course they teach at their home institution. Expect great discussion with community college faculty colleagues representing a number of institutions and academic disciplines. Workshops will feature seminar discussion in a collaborative and supportive environment, conducted through Google Meet.
Each workshop will focus on a grouping of transformative texts from The Great Questions Foundation’s Transformative Text List. Workshops pair an ancient/classic text(s) with a modern or contemporary text, emphasizing the persistent human questions raised by each text across spans of time, place and culture. Each workshop will include four meetings over Zoom lasting two hours each, running for four consecutive weeks. Most texts will be read in excerpt. Upon completion of the workshop, faculty participants will each have incorporated the discussion-based study of one or more of the texts we will read into the curriculum of a general education course they teach.
This opportunity is available to current community college faculty members who teach general education/core curriculum courses at accredited US institutions.
The application deadline for Summer 2023 is TBD
