March 2 to 6 is Open Classrooms Week at Mount Holyoke, an annual event organized by the Teaching and Learning Initiative.

Throughout the week, faculty, teaching staff, and experiential learning partners invite colleagues into their classrooms and centers!

The week is an opportunity for everyone teaching at Mount Holyoke to explore a variety of teaching styles, check out technologies and materials, and dive into topics one has always been curious about or perhaps never heard of! There are Open Classrooms Week opportunities from Archives and Special Collections, the Educational Technology Team, the Grants Office, and the Language & Culture Commons, Biological Sciences, Classics and Italian, Computer Science, English, Math, Music, Neuroscience and Behavior, Physics & Astronomy, Politics, and Psychology & Education.

Everyone involved in teaching at Mount Holyoke can peruse the Visitor Sign-up Sheet, available on the regular TLI Information and Registration doc, to decide whether you want to discuss Shakespeare, learn about motivation, see what those who are piloting Canvas have been up to, figure out how you could be learning a new language – the options continue.

Some spaces can accommodate higher numbers of visitors, some sessions do not start at the regular times, and there are a number of drop-in opportunities.

Students, if your class is an ‘open classroom’, be sure to extend an invitation to another teacher - a lab instructor, a professor, a research and instruction librarian.

Reach out to Interim TLI Director Jacquelyne Luce, jluce@mtholyoke.edu, with any questions or if you would like to participate in a ‘mystery class/center’ experiment!
