When history comes to life: an experiential pedagogy conference

By ACERT
Topics : ACERT, Pedagogy

The Teachers on Teaching group centered their 2019 workshop around experiential pedagogy that focuses on historical content. Organized by Monica Calabritto, Paolo Fasoli, Kelly Paciaroni, and Julie Van Peteghem, “When History Comes to Life: Experiential Pedagogy in the World Language and Social Sciences Classrooms” attracted a hybrid audience of instructors ranging from middle and high school to college on November 15, 2019 at Hunter College. The nature and content of the event bridged all levels of instruction beautifully and stimulated a continued dialogue in ongoing efforts to sustain world language studies and keep the Humanities alive and flourishing in our educational system.

TSC January 2020: Discussing The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux, by Cathy N. Davidson

By ACERT
Topics : ACERT, Assessment, Open Educational Resources, Pedagogy

In this year’s ACERT Teaching Scholarship Circle (TSC) we read and discussed Cathy N. Davidson’s book The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux. In her book, Davidson argues that university educators must substantially change how we teach in order to help our students succeed “in our age of precarious work and technological disruption.” Through our reading and discussion of her book, we analyzed and critiqued her transformational vision for higher education in America, and drew lessons for how we support students at Hunter and how, in Davidson’s words, “we can educate students not only to survive but to thrive amid the challenges to come.”
