  • Engaging the Whole Student: Project-Based Learning as Embodied and Inclusive Pedagogy

    Sponsored by:
    Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
    When faculty teach according to the Seven Essential Elements of Project-Based Learning (PBL), they bring high-impact practices into their courses. These practices foster deeper, embodied learning by engaging the whole student—heart, mind, and spirit—and tapping into different parts of their brain, identity, and being. Come hear how faculty colleagues employed PBL this fall with unscripted, “real-world” and hands-on project work.

    We are commemorating International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a video-on-demand screening of “Petit Rat” (Vera Wagman, 2021, USA, 45 mins.). https://www.petitrat.com/. In 1940, a French Jewish girl’s dream of becoming a ballerina is cut short by World War II. She vows that if she has daughters, they will become dancers. Nearly 80 years later, she and her two daughters confront the impact of that? pledge. Petit Rat is a portrait of three women, bonded by the intergenerational trauma of war and uplifted by the resilience of familial love.

    Stephen Sondheim’s ground-breaking “concept” musical debuted in 1970. The famous score is by turns hilarious and heart-breaking, and after half a century what it says about modern relationships still rings true. The annual co-production of Town Hall Theater and the Middlebury College Dept. of Music is always a much-anticipated event. This year, with the recent death of the man who changed the art form forever, the show takes on a new poignancy. Directed by Douglas Anderson, with musical direction by Carol Christensen.
