Beyond Innovation: Sustaining Pedagogical Improvement

Presenters:
Susan Bickerstaff, Community College Research Center
Myra Snell, Los Medanos College
Jamey Gallagher, Community College of Baltimore County

Abstract:
When a reform is launched, faculty expend significant energy collaborating, planning, and preparing to teach the new course. As a reform matures, this energy may wane as the innovation becomes the “new normal.” This session includes research findings and faculty perspectives on ongoing refinement beyond the early stages of implementation..

“So, How Are Things Going?” – The Power of Faculty Reflection

Presenters:
Linda S. De La Ysla, Community College of Baltimore County

Abstract:
“ALPles & Oranges” meet-ups provide an informal, yet powerful place for faculty reflection related to challenging classroom situations, pedagogical experiences, and collaborative problem-solving. A deceptively simple model of professional development, “ALPles & Oranges” has evolved over the past two years from a “make-and-take” opportunity to a space where deeper reflection on teaching and learning occurs. Panelists are full- and part-time CCBC faculty. Handouts provided.
