Presentation Handouts

 The Format: These materials are formatted in a unique way! In higher education we are used to many words and many ideas on one page. This often encourages only a cursory notice of important issues. We are not in the habit of pausing long enough to react to the author. I have organized these materials deliberately so that we will gradually be immersed into new conversations with new people. Each page is set up to foster dialogue and to resist a mere transmission of ideas. The first section in particular on "principles" has one major idea per page. This will allow you to pause and think about the meaning of the various statements. It will develop a "contact zone" between your ideas and experiences and those of others. I will be endeavoring to engage you in conversations rather than telling you about the conversations. Most pages are formatted so they can be used as masters for overhead transparencies.
     All sections will provide an opportunity for a mixture of theory, demonstration, practice and feedback (Joyce, Showers) so that your learning will be more effective. Ultimately, my goals are that each reader/participant will go away with new knowledge and skills that can be applied in any discipline in higher education. I will be modeling the kind of instruction I hope you will come to enjoy – just as I have. My journey from traditional teaching to active teaching has unfolded over the past ten years. Today, I can say with passion that teaching and learning have never been more satisfying! Welcome to the conversation! -Shirley
