The fall faculty book group will explore intentional instructional design as we read together, "Learning that Matters: A Field Guide to Course Design for Transformative Learning." As a member of the fall faculty book group, you will receive a physical copy of the book and get the chance to connect with colleagues at bi-monthly meetings. Meetings will take place on Zoom, with the option for a hybrid format if the group wishes.
How do you design courses that engage students as active citizens?
No matter their previous successes or failures, every student has enormous learning potential and important contributions to make now and in the future. Such meaningful learning experiences don't just happen, they need to be intentionally designed. This "work" book provides research-informed approaches for creating learning experiences and developing innovative, intellectually-engaging courses. Whether a novice or a veteran, by engaging with the text, collaborating with colleagues, and reflecting on the important work of a teacher, any motivated educator can become a transformative educator. Every college course has the potential to transform students' lives.
