Workshop for Theological School Faculty Teaching Online In this workshop, theological school faculty will design, build, implement, assess, and redesign an online or hybrid course to be taught in the 2018-19 academic year. The workshop will be offered as a hybrid experience, blending elements of individual work, three face-to-face sessions, and collaborative work as part of a virtual learning community. During the first summer, participants will engage in an intensive program that includes online content (developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin - Madison), bookended by two of the face-to-face gatherings with peers on the Wabash College campus. During the 2018-19 academic year, participants will teach and assess the course they designed. In the final face-to-face session during the summer of 2019, each participant will review their assessment information, share best practices, wrestle with deeper issues of pedagogy and sociology of learning, and complete a plan for revising their course. Goals Participants will be able to: Design, construct, implement, assess, and revise a well-conceived and pedagogically sound course for delivery in an online or hybrid format Assess the unique opportunities and challenges for effective teaching and learning posed by traditional, hybrid, and online teaching environments Apply sound principles of pedagogy and the sociology of learning communities to the design of an online or hybrid course Make informed decisions about how to shape effective pedagogical and sociological strategies for the venue in which they will be used, in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes Design and facilitate learning activities and processes in order to achieve effective, relational, and formational learning outcomes Contribute in positive ways to institutional exploration of online and hybrid learning environments Honorarium Participants will receive an honorarium of $3400 for full participation in the three f2f and online course sessions. In addition, all participants will be reimbursed for local expenses and travel.

Workshop for Early Career Theological School Faculty This workshop invites those in their first years of teaching in theological schools to join a community of generosity and hospitality that responds to early career professional and vocational development. Together they will: Wrestle with generative questions about teaching and learning Learn how to live a life of the mind without losing one’s mind Discover ways to engage institutional and cultural realities that are liberative and life-giving Imagine teaching that constructively engages and transforms the larger world through creative thinking and risk-taking The workshop will gather 14 faculty members for a week in two successive summers at Wabash College, and a weekend winter retreat in a warm location. There will be a balance of plenaries, small group discussions, workshops, social time, and opportunities for relaxation, exercise, laughter, and lots of good food and drink. Goals Participants will join a collaborative cohort in which they will: Reflect critically on processes of learning that foster intellectual curiosity Discover ways to sustain practices of teaching and learning with passion Understand and navigate institutional cultures Explore deepest convictions about teaching and learning in theological schools Honorarium and Fellowship Participants will receive an honorarium of $3400 for full participation in the three workshop sessions, plus local expenses and travel.
