Pedagogies of Writing: Giving Feedback on Writing to Motivate Student Revision <https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/pedagogies-of-writing/> Revision can be a daunting task for any writer. What does it mean to improve a draft? How can we as instructors encourage effective revision practices? In this workshop, Lindsey Albracht, Co-Director of First Year Writing and Part-Time Instruction and Rebecca Suzuki, Lecturer in English and Multilingualism Specialist, will discuss innovative ways that instructors may provide feedback that motivate students to revise their text. Examples include compassionate writing responses, defining and clarifying revision expectations, having students annotate their first drafts, assigning community-engaged projects, conferencing, and incorporating creative writing techniques. Open to all instructors who teach classes with a writing component. The workshop will be held on Monday, April 28th, 2025 from 12:15 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the President’s Conference Room #1 (RO 527/Library). Please register here: forms.office.com/r/tJQ92EDhRs<https://forms.office.com/r/tJQ92EDhRs> Contact CETLL with any questions: ctlonline(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:ctlonline@qc.cuny.edu> [cid:image001.png@01DBA936.3DE55750]

Pedagogies of Place: a faculty development workshop about teaching in Queens Organized and facilitated by Lindsey Albracht (English), Eric Goldfischer (Urban Studies), Soniya Munshi (CETLL/Urban Studies), and Amy Wan (English), and CETLL Co-sponsored by the QC Library's OER Initiative, funded by N.Y.S Open Educational Resources Grant Applications due Monday, April 28, 11:59 p.m. Dates: June 10, 11, and 12, 2025 Time: 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Where: Queens College campus; location TBD This three day in-person workshop invites QC faculty to deepen our understanding of the place we call Queens, as a campus and as a set of communities and neighborhoods. Drawing from interdisciplinary approaches to place-based education and pedagogies of writing, we will explore how critical and reflective engagement with our local contexts can inform our teaching practices. The sessions will include a mix of hands-on activities, hearing from different people across campus, and time to work on projects. Who should apply? This workshop is open to all faculty members at Queens College. No expertise or previous training is necessary, and all disciplines are welcome. The seminar will be a chance to talk about teaching and learn from peers; it will be welcoming to all participants who are interested in being more comfortable with their teaching. We especially encourage pre-tenure/CCE and part-time faculty to apply as well as mid-career faculty who would like the opportunity to re-engage with their teaching. Please visit CETLL's site to learn more about the workshop and requirements for participation: https://www.qc.cuny.edu/cetll/pedagogies-of-place/ Faculty members that fulfill the workshop commitments will receive a $2,000 stipend and a certificate of completion. Applications due Monday, April 28, 11:59 p.m. Apply for the workshop here: forms.office.com/r/fSNqZxp7hm<https://forms.office.com/r/fSNqZxp7hm> For questions, contact us at CTLOnline(a)qc.cuny.edu<mailto:CTLOnline@qc.cuny.edu> [cid:image001.png@01DBA498.42144310]
