Revisiting Innovation in TeachingLenore Wright (Baylor Interdisciplinary Core and Academy for Teaching and Learning)Thursday, February 16, 10:30-11:30 am
What does innovation mean in today’s teaching culture? The ATL co-facilitated a series of conversations about teaching innovation in 2021-22. Our aims were threefold: (1) define innovation in teaching, (2) identify barriers to a sustained culture of innovation in teaching, and (3) envision a framework for institutionalizing innovation in teaching. Group discussion was guided by Damon Centola’s book Change: How to Make Big Things Happen (2021). This SET will recap prior discussions and elicit new insights for understanding innovation in teaching. The seminar will also gauge participant interest in reinitiating dialogue about innovation in teaching. So grab a seat, weigh in on future innovation conversations, and suggest some of the “big things” of teaching today.
