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

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. Faculty speakers will be Kristy Bright (ANTH) speaking about ANTH 0302 Ethnographic Research, and Miguel Fernandez (SPAN) speaking about SPAN Hispanic Theatre. This session is part of the 2022 Contemporary Teaching Series and will be moderated by Amy McGlashan and Amy Morsman. Click here to learn more.
