Learner Centered Teaching  by Mary Ellen Weimer

5 Minds of the Future  by Howard Gardner

 

How does it work? There are 5 books/themes to choose from. Each group will meet 3-4 times during the semester to discuss the book.  Some groups may plan to meet 6-7 times during the academic year for longer books.  The discussion will be facilitated by a volunteer leader.  Groups may teleconference between the two campuses, or there may be separate facilitators, depending upon the size of the group.  The Center for Teaching, Learning & Leadership will purchase the books, form the groups, and assist in scheduling the rooms.    Faculty and staff interested in  participating should email Chaudron Gille at cgille@gsc.edu  by August 21st.
