TCC: Volunteer to Open your Class for Open Classrooms Week!

Faculty are doing fantastic and impactful things in their classrooms—engaged collaborative learning, dynamic lectures, getting to know students well. Our students are involved in public speaking, service learning, role playing, hands-on training and much more. MCC offers unique learning experiences from discussions, performances, and artistic creations in the liberal arts to technical preparation in auto mechanics, hospitality, nursing, and more.

So the TCC is pleased to announce Open Classrooms Week, which will take place November 27 to December 2, Monday through Saturday.

Because of the diversity of modalities, open classes can be face-to-face, remote or online.

Want to participate as the one opening a class, the one visiting someone else's, or both? The signup process is simple, and consists of two distinct stages:

Now through November 3: Registration period for those willing and eager to open their classes to colleagues
- To volunteer your class (or more than one) for Open Classrooms Week, please complete the Open Classroom Week Registration Form.
November 8 through November 17: Registration period for faculty and staff to visit a class from among those on the list
- There will be a separate announcement for this beginning November 8.

Let’s make our classes a little more visible, and show each other what we might sometimes forget, especially when we are isolated and can’t hear each other through thin classroom walls or catch glimpses of each other as we walk down the halls: We’re a fabulously interesting bunch. Our classes, our subjects, our passions are wonderful things. Opening doors (physical and virtual) and sharing our work with each other are part of what we do.

Sign up before November 3 to have your class be on the list for people to visit. And stay tuned for the next steps.

Thank you for all that you do!
