Join CATL and other members of the Elon teaching community for our 2nd annual Scholarly Teaching Symposium, where we'll dig into questions about student learning using the “decoding the disciplines” framework developed at Indiana University.
May Scholarly Teaching Symposium: Decoding the Disciplines – How to anticipate and address obstacles to learning
Wednesday, May 20, 1:30-4:30 p.m. (after the Senior Class Picnic)
Belk Pavilion 208
In this afternoon workshop, we’ll introduce and apply the decoding framework to uncover ways to help students understand how experts think in your field. Whether you are developing new courses or assignments or beginning (or nearing completion on) a scholarly project on teaching and learning, this workshop will be useful for you. We’ll start by exploring and discussing the framework and what it might suggest about building disciplinary expertise. The session will also include time to work with colleagues on the question you identify as most relevant for your teaching or student learning as well as the tacit assumptions we hold about our disciplines, and end with a gallery walk and reception where you can share and deepen ideas.
