Welcome to Season 4 of Instructional Ecology! 

In this first episode of the new season, we stand at the gates of the underworld of higher education: failure. We kick off the season with our guiding questions and our intentions for this season.

We'll be once again moving around the college to better understand the place of failure in higher education and how we might better respond to students experiencing it. We'll have a look at the plan for the season with both topical interviews and storytelling from the lives of faculty and staff at the college. 

Our guest is Mary Helen Hendrix, Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, and a learning expert. She'll ground us in her hopes for our season growing out of her perspective on how excellence, success, and failure are all intertwined.

Join us as we once again ask our instructional community to tell its stories and reveal the work going on all around us as we explore deeper into the web of our college.
