This is an ongoing project that will involve several events over the course of the Spring 2025 semester. These events will provide opportunities to come together as a community by being creative together, specifically through making collage art together. Why collage art? Collage art is made when we piece together different images and materials to create something uniquely yours. It something anyone can do. Also, the process gives you time to think and reflect. Through planning, selecting, arranging, cutting, twisting, curling, and pasting, you have the chance to explore your creativity, reflect, and express yourself. After you make your individual collage, it will then become part of the Kingsborough Tapestry. *** Multiple Day Event - KCC U101A -The COVE
The Big City Social Studies is a collaboration between former teachers, teacher education professors, pre-service and in-service PD providers, and district officials who are committed to supporting teachers. We believe that teachers are caring professionals who always strive to provide young people with the best possible education they can. Because these are changing times and many teachers are finding creative ways of approaching what is happening in their classrooms and in the nation, we are inviting teachers to share and learn from each other about the state of their work, any local actions they have taken, and how they are looking to the future. Please join us for this National Town Hall featuring educators from across the country (Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Knoxville) who will share their experiences, facilitate discussion, and offer some thinking for moving forward.
