CCC | Reclaiming Joy: Human-First Teaching in the AI Era | The Glow-Up Garden

Friday, April 17, 2026`2:05 pm - 3:00 pm

Take stock of your sprouts of joy and dig in! Use this time to either work in solitude or in a discipline/context-specific Circle to get started on that one idea that has you feeling joyful right now. Before you go, make an offering to your peers on our Glow Up Garden Padlet!

The ground is shifting. Agentic AI browsers can now log into Canvas and submit assignments on behalf of students. For many faculty, this feels like betrayal—exhausting detection work, forced surveillance, fear that everything we’ve built is suddenly obsolete.

But what if this rupture is also an invitation?

This event offers a different response: one grounded in joy, community, and the deeply human core of education. The best defense against automation isn’t tighter surveillance—it’s returning to what machines cannot do: witness authentic growth, honor cultural knowledge, and create learning where students show up as their full selves.

Our goal is to help you maintain joy and community as essential tools as you design human-first courses that make student thinking visible, invite lived experience into coursework, and protect transfer integrity without eroding equity.

This event offers permission, possibility, and community—a space to process your fatigue, learn from colleagues, and discover practices that make teaching feel creative and relational again.
Because if we lose joy, we’ve already lost.
