Bacca Fellowship Project
I seek to expand on multi-modal integrations which strengthen students’ connections with the cultural content of each unit. Students will gain practice in negotiating meaning and creating narratives from multiple perspectives and will participate in unit-end events in which they present, perform, and reflect within an expanded learning community.
Playful Pedagogy Fellowship Project
I have often found students to be more comfortable being uncomfortable when not seated at desks and was interested in expanding my toolbox of creative activities which don’t rely excessively on technology and which can take us outside of the classroom.
I also believe that playful pedagogy isn’t just about games and creative activities.
It speaks to an attitude, atmosphere and overall class dynamic which makes students forget that learning is taking place as they connect with others in novel ways in a low-stress, low-stakes learning environment.
