In this Humanities Teaching Lab (HTLab), Dr. Bahiyyah Muhammad will discuss how to transform your classrooms into experiential learning laboratories in real time and space. Through the use of radical pedagogy, she has spent the last decade constructing, assessing and updating her classes at Howard University, which have been dubbed The Dr. Muhammad Experience.
This motivational session will feature examples from Dr. Muhammad’s award-winning global curriculum, from her Policing Inside Out, MOM Camp for Children of Incarcerated Parents and her Higher Education in Prison Remix. Participants will learn how to merge research and teaching to bring courses to a climax that creates educational satisfaction through the intersectional lens of social consciousness and social justice.
Participants will learn to:
- Address contemporary social justice problems through action based classroom approaches;
- Think outside the box in selection of course assignments, assessments and resources
- Empower students to apply course content to their daily lives
- Incorporate experiential learning components into your online teaching platforms
- Create life changing course experiences for yourself and for students
Registration is required to attend this HT Lab. Please register by Monday, March 1.
