Faculty Inquiry Group - Strategies for Mindful Learning - Part 2
(Academic)
This is the second part of a four-part series that explores strategies for mindful learning by examining mindful, learning-centered teaching practices through readings, discussions, shared materials, and an exploration of technologies that can enrich the learning experience. Learning-centered teaching differs from more didactic forms of instruction by (re)envisioning teacher and student interaction in order to foster increased student confidence in their own intellectual engagement. As students become aware of and engaged in the learning process, they also learn to welcome greater responsibility for learning. Thus, a significant portion of this track will focus on exploring and discussing mindful, learning-centered practices across the disciplines that modify traditional classroom management, skill development, project/assignment design, and assessments.
