GSCC's Jam on Teaching Dev Ed

If you’re a developmental ed practitioner and you haven’t checked out Global Skills for College Completion’s “Jam” on pedagogy, you should head over there right now!

The most active discussion is about using data and evidence to assess pedagogy (in contrast to assessing student learning). You can still contribute to the threads that began yesterday about institutional strategies, student context, and faculty attributes. The GSCC blog is keeping track of the highlights, which include ideas on curriculum contextualization, faculty adaptability, peer engagement, and creating a sense of community in the classroom.

The Jam ends tomorrow, so get into the conversation while you still can!

Alyson Zandt is a Program Associate at MDC.
