Pedagogy, Teaching, & Mentorship
Update
- The work group engaged 50 faculty and staff in one-on-one interviews to discuss innovations in pedagogy, teaching, and mentorship and conducted two student focus groups.
- Research in pedagogical innovation was broad based. The group had the opportunity to speak in person with Sal Khan of the Khan Academy and Wes Jordan of St. Mary’s Honors College.
- Since the winter term, the working group has been meeting with committees and individuals on campus to get feedback and improve upon their recommendations.
Overall approach
The faculty strategic planning advisory group (F‐SPAC) decided to launch the faculty planning efforts by focusing first on the core aspects of our dual roles as scholars and teachers – scholarly and pedagogical excellence. The goal of this working group is to look deeply into issues relating to support and expansion of faculty pedagogy, teaching and mentoring necessary to continue Dartmouth’s leadership in higher education in the coming years.
This working group will seek broad input from within and outside Dartmouth. They will examine trends, needs and opportunities that will be vital to the successful recruitment, retention and advancement and distinction of our faculty as innovative educators in the future. Individual schools and departments will be asked by their deans to engage in discussions focusing on departmental, divisional, and school‐specific scholarly areas and disciplinary approaches to complement the more general conversation.
Goals
- To define and enhance our model of scholar‐teacher that is fundamental to Dartmouth, in order to be truly distinctive in higher education
- To combine an ethic of educational innovation (e.g., digital, new ways of learning, etc.) with our unique model of highly interactive, exceptional education
- To facilitate Dartmouth’s distinctive link between Pedagogy and Research
- To identify opportunities for collaboration and partnerships across campus, and with external partners across the world
