Facilitator 1: Christine Courtade Hirsch, SUNY Oswego
Important pedagogical concepts have been teased out over the last few years and applied to the teaching of communication courses, from basic course to senior seminars. This short course will provide rationale, examples, and participant takeaways from three important and intersecting streams of literature and thought, focusing on Ken Bain’s 2004 What the Best College Teachers Do, moving through simple steps to determine when and if “flipping the classroom” is appropriate for the individual participants, and finishing with a very practical way of lessening the time spent grading papers while exponentially increasing the capacity for a discursive/discussion based classroom.
