Miguel Molina is the Instructional Design Specialist at the John Jay College Institute for Justice and Opportunity (the "Institute"). Miguel joined the Institute in 2018 as the instructor for the College Readiness course at Rikers Island, a writing-intensive social justice-themed course that prepared incarcerated students for the CUNY assessment test in writing. The course has since evolved from a non-credit to credit-bearing course. In partnership with BMCC, Miguel teaches CRT 100 – Critical Thinking and CRT 120 - Critical Thinking and Social Justice, allowing incarcerated students to earn up to 6 credits and satisfy CUNY’s Individual and Society Flexible Common Core requirement. Since the pandemic, and the "pause" instructions of the state, Miguel is supported the development of curricula across the Institutes programs.
