TCC: Fall Conversation #1 on Sept. 30--Building Interpersonal Relationships

The TCC’s Conversations series begins Monday, Sept. 30, with “Building Interpersonal Relationships,” facilitated by professors Toya Mañón (Education & Human Services) and Bob Muhlnickel (English & Philosophy).

Relationship-building is an effective and often overlooked method of promoting deeper learning in all subject areas. This conversation consists of a panel of MCC faculty who will describe and demonstrate methods of fostering personal disclosure and student-to-student problem solving, essential parts of personal relationships that enhance learning.  We will also review research on the benefits of building classroom community and introduce an instrument faculty can use to assess the level of community in their classes.

  • When: Monday, Sept. 30, 12:00 to 12:50 PM
  • Where: Brighton Campus TCC (12-201) with remote option on Zoom

All faculty and staff are welcome!

The event is designed to meet the following goal of the Teaching and Creativity Center's programming: 

  • Goal 1: Create a culture of critical reflection, continual growth, and collaboration for faculty at all stages of professional growth 
  • Goal 2: Promote evidence-based, high-impact, innovative course design and teaching strategies that improve student outcomes 
  • Goal 3: Facilitate faculty inquiry into the study of teaching & learning with an equity lens
