Faculty Reading Group Two  |   Faculty Interest Group at Kingsborough

Welcome

The KCTL Teaching & Learning Reading group meets about four times a semester in M391.  We meet with the purpose of reading critical and thought provoking books, one per semester, about teaching and learning. Books are ordered by KCTL and are available free before the semester starts at which time the facilitator breaks the book into reading portions upon which the meetings will be based. The meeting and reading information is distributed at the beginning of the semester to any individuals who express interest in participating. Approximately a week prior to each meeting the facilitator e-mails a handout of questions and discussion starters based on the reading for that meeting. Our meetings last about one hour, usually at the end of the day, and we discuss the the book using the questions and discussion statrters and also ideas, questions, and outside readings brought by the members themselves that relate to the section of the book we are reading.  The meetings are open to all  faculty, staff, and administrators who are interested in the topics being discussed. The books that we read have far reaching implications for the culture and society however we always connect what we are reading to actual teaching and learning practice in our classrooms.
