published Nov 5, 2008 9:37am
SERC has a new partnership with Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) incorporating the pedagogic service into PKAL's Pedagogies of Engagement initiative. PKAL's Pedagogies of Engagement initiative is a pilot effort to facilitate greater engagement of administrators and STEM faculty in discussions about, implementation and assessment of research-based pedagogies of engagement. The initiative is leveraging SERC's existing collection of pedagogic modules and exemplary activities as well as taking advantage of SERC's model for documenting pedagogies and faculty activities online. PKAL and SERC are using these tools to engage the formal system/consortia/network of colleges and universities which are collaborating partners in the Pedagogies of Engagement inititiative. The first steps in this colloboration are visible in a new PKAL Pedagogic Collection which draws together pre-existing materials from the Pedagogy in Action collection with new teaching activities and new and greatly enhanced pedagogic modules reflecting the wisdom of the team of pedagogic pioneers and the energies of the collaborating partners working with the Pedagogies of Engagement initiative.
