RISD Teaching and Learning in Art and Design Certificate
I just came from a lovely lunch with Paul Sproll, Nancy Friese, and John Chamberlin where this year’s faculty RISD Teaching Advancement Program participants were feted and given certificates.
RISD Teaching Advancement Program: An intensive yearlong program in reflective collegiate teaching methods. The program integrated five Brown University Harriet W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning lectures, five RISD workshops customized to art and design, and an individualized teaching practice observation. Content areas included teaching philosophies; backward design for objectives in a syllabus; learning centered teaching for reaching a variety of learners; criteria for assessment and competencies; and effective communication skills.
