Prior Knowledge in the Core Classroom
Mobina Hashmi (TVR), Stephanie Jensen-Moulton (Music) & Michael Meagher (Education)
This workshop focuses on ways in which the engagement of students’ prior knowledge of core subject matter can help bring about a balance between the practicalities of life in the classroom and the creative aspects of teaching that make core classes both interesting and integral to undergraduates’ general education. Faculty will be encouraged to re-examine their courses with the assessment of prior knowledge in mind, and to envision a course that draws as much information out of students at the start of term as at term’s end.

| The Challenges of Teaching New Millennium Students
Danny Kopec (CIS)
The “New Millennium Student” comes “equipped” and trained with technological
advances over the prior generation of students. Besides access to the World Wide Web, sophisticated cell phones, and other wireless technologies today do seem somewhat “deskilled” when it comes to critical thinking and analytical tasks. The issue for consideration and discussion is “How can we bridge the gap between student’s ‘technological capabilities and their abilities’ to apply their skills to acquiring deep subject matter knowledge, understanding, and problem-solving?”

Collaborative Teaching Workshop: Tips and Techniques
Helen Richardson (Theatre) & David Grubbs (Music)
In this workshop, Prof. Helen E. Richardson (Theater) and Prof. David Grubbs (Music) will share their experiences in team-teaching courses in Brooklyn College’s graduate programs in Performance and Interactive Media Arts (PIMA). Not only are PIMA courses team-taught, but nearly all of the student work consists of collaboratively produced interdisciplinary performances. We hope to be able to explore -- with the help of Center for Teaching workshop participants -- the extent to which our insights from teaching in PIMA can translate into different classroom situations.
