"My impulse to make things good, and to make good things better, is almost ungovernable. I suppose it’s lucky I found a wholesome outlet for it."

ALT POD Network To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development. Quote: Though a marketer’s goals may be very different from an educational developer’s, marketing concepts can help to lay the groundwork for pedagogical approaches, such as backward design. Authors: Christopher Chen, Ian Althouse, Caitlin DeClercq, Mark Phillipson. Background: A bright sunset which lights the sky and clouds orange, and casts the ground in a dark shadow. A body of water is somewhat visible.

Loved being in conversation with Ami Yoon, Thom Preston, and @Catheross02 about how and why to center collaboration and community building in our teaching practices.
If teaching were viewed as community property, rather than something that happens behind closed classroom doors, would there be more value placed on teaching & more rigor in its evaluation? In this episode, we discuss with 3 @Columbia doctoral students.
