By writing Teaching Reflections, members of the College community become the voice of the Center of Teaching and Learning. Our biweekly installments reflect on teaching philosophy, the scholarship of teaching and learning, pedagogical techniques, and helpful resources. We strive to engage and inform. Many thanks to all Albion College teachers who have shared their thinking and practice in a Teaching Reflection!
Ian MacInnes, Department of English
Our students' vocabularies inform both who they are and who they can be. Evidence suggests, however, that our students are reading less, hearing less conversation, and bringing a smaller vocabulary to college.1
Carol Moss, Department of Kinesiology
I have always wanted my Introduction to Kinesiology students to experience firsthand how someone in my field would perform a particular skill in the real world.
Eric Hill, Department of Psychological Science
For years, I tried to find a way to reduce classroom cell phone use without increasing resentment. Like nearly all my best ideas, I stole this one from someone else.
Carrie Booth Walling, Department of Political Science and Prentiss M. Brown Honors Program
As I approached my sabbatical semester I dreamt of long days of productive research, hours of uninterrupted and concentrated writing, and submissions to peer reviewed journals. I did not dream of revamping my course design or revising my teaching methods, nor did I expect to reevaluate my teaching so far away from the classroom.
