"The book is effervescent with potential to transform our work in
everything from our relations with students to our role in
developing teaching cultures on campus." -from the Foreword by
Margy MacMillan Teaching and learning communities are communities
of practice in which a group of faculty and staff from across
disciplines regularly meet to discuss topics of common interest and
to learn together how to enhance teaching and learning. Since these
teaching and learning communities can bring together members who
might not have otherwise interacted, new ideas, practices, and
synergies can arise. The role of librarians in teaching and
learning has been reexamined and reinvigorated by the introduction
of the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher
Education, which offers a conceptual approach and theoretical
foundations that are new and challenging. Building Teaching and
Learning Communities: Creating Shared Meaning and Purpose goes
beyond the library profession for inspiration and insights from
leading experts in higher education pedagogy and educational
development across North America to open a window on the wider
world of teaching and learning, and includes discussion of
pedagogical theories and practices including threshold concepts and
stuck places; the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL);
disciplinary approaches to pedagogy; the role of signature
pedagogies; inclusion of student voices; metaliteracy; reflective
practice; affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects of learning;
liminal spaces; and faculty as learners. This unique collection
asks each of the authors to address this question: What do we as
educators need to learn (or unlearn) and experience so we can
create teaching and learning communities across disciplines and
learning levels based on shared meaning and purpose? Six
fascinating chapters explore this question in different ways:
Building a Culture of Teaching and Learning, Pat Hutchings and Mary
Deane Sorcinelli Sit a Spell: Embracing the Liminality of
Pedagogical Change through the Scholarship of Teaching and
Learning, Linda Hodges The Crossroads of SoTL and Signature
Pedagogies, Nancy L. Chick Bottlenecks of Information Literacy,
Joan Middendorf and Andrea Baer Developing Learning Partnerships:
Navigating Troublesome and Transformational Relationships, Peter
Felten, Kristina Meinking, Shannon Tennant, and Katherine Westover
When Teachers Talk to Teachers: Shared Traits between Writing
Across the Curriculum and Faculty Learning Communities, Kateryna A.
R. Schray Building Teaching and Learning Communities is an entry
into some of the most interesting conversations in higher education
and offers ways for librarians to socialize in learning theory and
begin "thinking together" with faculty. It proposes questions,
challenges assumptions, provides examples to be used and adapted,
and can help you better prepare as teachers and pursue the
essential role of conversation and collaboration with faculty and
students.
