Curriculum Integration Newsletter: December 11-15

Check out our last edition of 2023 for some exciting resources, developments and events below!

Curriculum Café

Join us for our first in-person Curriculum Café at Newham Campus in Odeyto (E1401) on Thursday, December 14 from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. Sitting in a circle, we will ground ourselves in the Curriculum Integration process, strengthen relationships with colleagues during this stage of the journey, and discuss what’s in store for the Curriculum Integration Project in January 2024 and beyond. We welcome you to ask any burning questions you have and enjoy the snacks and refreshments provided. Register in MyPD.

Seneca’s Curriculum Café is a bi-weekly informal get-together where faculty share and learn about curriculum integration in Truth & Reconciliation (TRC), Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI), and Sustainability (SUS).

Program Announcement

Are you wondering what you can do to integrate sustainable development into your course? The SDG LABs program is coming to Seneca Polytechnic this W24 semester. This program gives students the opportunity to become sustainability leaders through educational sessions that will connect, educate, and empower participants to become catalysts for change in their communities. If you are interested in having your students attend and allocating marks to training completion, register your courses using the SDGs LAB Registration Form.

Book Study

If you're looking for a great holiday gift, consider this 2023 award-winning and bestselling novel, Yellowface by R.F. Kuang. An electric satire about racial identity in the trade publishing world,  Yellowface is thought-provoking and at times, acidly funny. We encourage you to use our Yellowface Curriculum Integration book study as a guide (scroll down to Attachments section). Happy reading!
