This session brings together former Engaged Listening Project (ELP) faculty fellows and faculty and staff participants in the summer 2021 dialogic workshop. Three ELP fellows – Ata Anzali (Religion), Amy Briggs (Computer Science), and Will Nash (American Studies) – will offer reflections on employing dialogic principles and practices in the classroom. Participants are then invited to discuss the lessons learned and future questions for teaching that focuses on both listening and speaking. Moderated by former ELP director Sarah Stroup (PSCI and IGST).

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.

How has your teaching experience been shifting modalities? What helped? What feedback did you receive from students? What would you need to know from students? These questions will animate this collaborative student-faculty conversation to help us better understand the connections between our pedagogies and our students’ reception of our courses. This interactive discussion will enable deep reflection of where we’ve been, but more importantly, offer creative ideas about working with each other in the Spring 2022 semester, and beyond.
