Teaching is an ongoing praxis, and innovative approaches are often born of necessity. To encourage collective teaching practices, we invited student instructors to submit resources that demonstrate effective teaching practices in online learning formats. We want to encourage you to continue to submit to this initiative, particularly, if you can arm viewers with concrete, tools that increase student engagement, and where possible emphasize student success within an anti-racist, decolonized framework. All submissions (any videos must be in mp4 format) should be uploaded through the following link: https://forms.gle/6s8MbqHR9QfW3cMx8. Please email any questions to pedagogydaycuny@gmail.com
