As a faculty member you visibly engage with students in the classroom, with colleagues in meetings, through the pages of academic journals, at conferences and more. While much of academic life is about this public sharing of ideas and expertise, reading is often viewed more as a solitary practice conducted in private. An individualized meeting with the Colket Fellow in Reading and Rhetoric offers faculty an opportunity to break reading into the open, to develop ways to integrate critical reading skills into course assignments, examine common difficulties students encounter with reading at CC, discuss cross-disciplinary reading challenges, improve speed and comprehension, or approach new or perplexing texts collaboratively. Contact this year’s Colket Fellow, Kathleen O’Neil, to set up an appointment or discuss any questions you may have about reading at Colorado College. Email or phone, at kathleen.o’neil@coloradocollege.edu or (719) 227-8291. Please feel free to contact Kathleen as well if you are interested in scheduling an in-class visit focusing on active reading strategies or other reading topics, attending a reading workshop in the Learning Commons, or in referring students to a half-block or adjunct course in reading. |
