Teachers’ work: The tacit pedagogy of expert teachers in rural Malawi.Chris High

��

This document outlines a participatory video project in rural Malawi that investigated teachers' understanding of active learning. Interviews with teachers revealed a more sophisticated understanding of concepts like active learning than implied by their training. This challenges assumptions of teachers having deficits. The participatory video process allowed teachers to engage in sense-making and helped researchers gain trust to get a richer view of teaching practice beyond what is easy to measure. The study suggests capacity building is an ongoing process of exchange between teachers' communities of practice.

Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...CIEE

��

How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.

This document discusses the importance of friendships in supporting student transition and retention. It presents findings from research that show social integration and making friends, especially early on, can help students feel like they belong and be more likely to persist in their studies. Specific strategies are suggested to help students make friends, such as icebreakers, organized social activities, and embedding more small group work and interactions into course design. While halls of residence are important locations to form initial friendships, other strategies may be needed to support students not living on campus. Overall, intentionally creating opportunities for friendship formation can help students feel more integrated both socially and academically.
