Episode 173 - Teaching as Catching: Shively T. J. Smith
Dialogue on Teaching, Wabash Center’s podcast series, is hosted by Nancy Lynne Westfield, Ph.D., Director of the Wabash Center. Amplifying the Wabash Center’s mission, the podcasts focus upon issues of teaching and learning in theology and religion within colleges, university, seminaries, as well as the publics impacted by these schools. Dialogues with faculty and administrators working in the wide range of institutional contexts illumine the complexity of teaching and the teaching life.
What can be taught and what must be caught? What does it take to choreograph student discovery, detection, encounter, experience, stumbling upon, and notice of the unexpected?
What practices allow teachers to be aware of students’ knowledges? What does it mean to measure and reflect upon teaching that takes into account the art of catching?
