The Teaching Day program is an initiative aimed at supporting and enhancing the teaching and learning experience at Hostos Community College. It provides faculty with the opportunity to come together to share teaching practices and strategies, learn from one another, and explore innovative teaching methods. Throughout the program, faculty can attend workshops and presentations led by education experts, participate in roundtable discussions, and engage in networking opportunities. Topics covered include the use of technology in the classroom, active learning strategies, assessment and evaluation, and inclusive teaching practices. Teaching Day serves as a valuable resource for faculty to stay current on the latest teaching strategies, develop new skills, and improve both teaching and student learning outcomes.
In alignment with National Teaching Week, Hostos Teaching Day highlights the diverse aspects of teaching and learning while recognizing how Hostos has positively impacted the professional and personal lives of faculty, students, and staff. Stay tuned for our next Teaching Day event!
