Instructional Ecology

Entangled Learning
Our season finale is here in our time together about learning to learn. The "dense, dark star" we began with has proven to be a constellation of many centers of light and gravity. In this episode, we spend time considering all we've uncovered this season, across the college as well as within the seven skills or states of being we explored.
We'll have a quick check-in with Christine Witkowski, professor of Sociology and chair of the Strategic Planning Committee for Excellent Instruction. She was part of the impetus for this season and with her, we begin to think about visible interdependence at an institute of higher learning.
Our main conversation is with Melissa Ellington, professor of English. We explore her background in Developmental Reading and how she's brought those fundamental skills into the teaching of College Writing. We engage with some huge questions and concepts including one from quantum physics: entanglement. What if we applied that concept to our lives of work at the college?
Join us to wrap up the season but also to launch yourself into fresh consideration of your own teaching and work in your instructional ecosystem. Our episode webpage has resources to help you along the way as we ask ourselves: what is possible if we begin to teach in connection with each other?
Thanks for joining us for another great season of moving towards interconnection.
