Summary
Every year, the American Cultures coordinates a 'Teaching in Summer' workshop for all Summer Sessions instructors. Our Center partners with key campus partners to equip instructors with knowledge of the unique challenges and opportunities of summer teaching, important policy updates, and effective summer course planning strategies. This year, in collaboration with Berkeley Summer Sessions, and the Center for Teaching and Learning, the workshop also offered insights into undergraduate enrollment demographics, library resources, and approaches for fostering a caring classroom environment and teaching racial and social justice. A dedicated session was also held for American Cultures course instructors to share best practices for summer instruction.
