Eight-Session Cohorts
With generous funding from the Harvard Culture Lab Innovation Fund and in partnership with the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, HGSE’s Instructional Moves (IM) Project is offering two professional learning cohorts grounded in our new IM module focused on Educating for Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education. These cohorts are designed to help you incorporate research-based practices in equitable and inclusive teaching by observing, reflecting upon, and discussing high-quality Harvard teaching.
Here are some details that can help you decide if this offering is a good fit for you:
-
One cohort will be for Harvard faculty and instructional staff (i.e., a major part of your work is focused on supporting harvard instruction).
-
The other cohort will be for Harvard doctoral students interested in higher education pedagogy. With a few supplementary assignments, GSAS Ph.D. students can count the student PLC as a Bok Seminar equivalent towards a Bok Teaching Certificate.
-
Each cohort will meet for eight sessions. Five of the sessions (75 minutes each) will take place online and will be taken just with members of their cohort. The other three sessions (90 minutes each) will be in-person “IM Live” teaching demonstrations and debriefs that will include both cohorts and any other interested Harvard community members.
-
Registration for the cohorts will be open until 5 pm ET on Wednesday, Feb. 1st.
| Session Type | Audience | Modality | Time Slot | Dates |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Faculty & Instructional Staff Cohort | Cohort Only | Online | Wednesdays from 4 to 5:15 PM ET | 2/8, 2/15, 2/22, 3/1, 3/8 |
Doctoral Student Cohort | Cohort Only | Online | Thursdays from 4 - 5:15 PM ET | 2/9, 2/16, 2/23, 3/2, 3/9 |
IM Live Teaching Demos | Cohorts + Harvard Community | In-Person | Tuesdays from 3 - 4:30 PM ET | 2/14, 2/21, 2/28 |
-
We ask you to commit to the cohort only if you think you can make it to at least four of the five cohort-only sections. Those taking it as a Bok Seminar will need to make at least six of the eight total sessions. (“IM Live” teaching demo sessions will also be made available as recordings.
-
The cohorts will be co-led by Josh Bookin, IM Project Lead and Director of Instructional Support and Development at HGSE’s Teaching and Learning Lab, and Ashlie Sandoval, Assistant Director, Equity and Inclusion at the Bok Center.
