Related & Affiliated Programs
Teaching and Learning Institute
Funded originally by a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and now supported jointly by Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, the Teaching and Learning Institute (TLI) embraces a partnership model of faculty and student academic development. Visit the expanded TLI website for more information about pedagogical partnerships, TLI programming, and resources for teaching and learning in the Bi-Co and at other institutions.
Laɣim Tehi Tuma
LTT stands for Laɣim Tehi Tuma, “Thinking Together” in Dagbani, a language of Northern Ghana where the program was founded by a grassroots collaborative. Comprised by local educators, educators from Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, and students and community members of both settings, this collaborative acts as a threshold between communities, organizations, and individuals sharing a vision of education that contributes to global Black liberation.
Summer Syllabus Design Workshop
The summer syllabus workshop sequence presents the opportunity for new and existing faculty to enhance their focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The workshops are led by experienced BiCo colleagues who work in dialogue with students trained in pedagogical partnership through the Teaching and Learning Institute. Participants will be guided to consider the ways that their syllabi, in a broad range of fields, meet the needs, and goals of diverse student learners and direct attention to the ways that equity literacy, anti-racist literacy, and techniques of decolonization are purposely considered. Creating a community of individuals who are exploring syllabus development helps to encourage collaboration, reflection, and the consideration of multiple perspectives, and establishes pathways out of what Shulman called the “pedagogical solitude” that has sometimes limited and burdened the hard work of teaching.
