CALL FOR APPLICATIONS The American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) “To Improve The Quality Of Instruction In Philosophy At All Levels” Teaching & Learning in Philosophy with a Special Emphasis on Inclusive Pedagogy Location: The University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario Date: Saturday, April 9, 2016 Time: 8:30am – 5pm Application Deadline: March 1, 2016 Description Participants will read some of the best literature regarding how learning happens, how to design maximally effective courses, and how to improve classroom practice with a special emphasis on inclusive pedagogy. The goal is not only to provide tips, although we will provide some. Rather, the seminar is designed to enhance participants’ ability to make effective and inclusive pedagogical choices. The interactive sessions provide opportunities for participants to reflect with colleagues on how to individualize evidence-based best teaching practices to their own idiosyncratic teaching contexts and their own understanding about what matters most for inclusive pedagogy. Participants will learn how to identify and select challenging, transformative and inclusive learning objectives and how to design and assess sequences of learning activities to make the achievement of those goals highly likely. Comments from Past Participants • “The seminar shifted and honed the way I think about and practice teaching in substantial ways” • “Inspiring, fascinating, and incredibly helpful” • “Not at all like the typical (mostly useless) ‘teaching orientation’ that most graduate students get” • “A must for anyone who cares about students” • “An intensive boot-camp for learner-centered education” Eligibility & Fees There is no charge for members of the American Association of Philosophy Teachers. However, only members may attend. Become a member today. Student membership is $25 and regular membership is $40.
