Please join us on Friday, October 15 for Teachers Talking. Topic: Proposing, planning and teaching challenge seminars: The process, challenges and rewards! Challenge seminars provide “students an opportunity to collaboratively examine and propose responses to enduring and contemporary questions or challenges from an interdisciplinary perspective.” Join faculty in discussing the process, challenges and rewards they experienced in proposing, planning and/or teaching pilots of these seminars. Valerie Walker and Seán Easton will share their experiences proposing and planning their Challenge Seminars. Valerie will pilot “Climate Change and Environmental Education for Kids,” as a J-term course and Seán will pilot “Ancient Peace and Conflict: Troy to Constantinople.’Tom LoFaro will share his experiences co-teaching a Challenge Seminar pilot, “Planning for Nobel”,  with Karl Larson in the fall 2020 semester.
