Fifth Week 

Dr. Paul Sproll; Reflective and Effective Practices in Higher Education 

Paul Sproll is dedicated to the development of progressive practices in art and design teaching and learning in K-12 schools and community-based settings. His teaching and research centers on inquiry-based pedagogies for art and design education, and he is a longtime advocate for expanding the K-12 visual arts curriculum to include design and design thinking.

Sproll is committed to educational reform, especially in urban public high schools. His professional practice has increasingly involved work at the intersection of formal and informal education and particularly in the arena of expanded-day and summer learning. He directs Project Open Door—a RISD initiative housed in the Teaching + Learning in Art + Design department—which provides creative teens attending Rhode Island’s urban core public high schools with access to high-quality studio-based learning opportunities. He has received grants in support of these initiatives totaling over $1.75 million from organizations ranging from the National Endowment for the Arts to the Surdna Foundation, the Angell Foundation, the Nellie Mae Foundation, the Hasbro Children’s Fund as well as many others. Sproll is a regular presenter at national forums on art and design education and frequently serves as a curriculum consultant and adviser.

Assignment # 3 Faculty Interview

The Faculty Interview is an inquiry into the teaching history, trajectory, methodologies, teaching tips and teaching reflections of a faculty in one’s discipline from RISD, another institution, or one’s undergraduate institution. Include a bio and sample of the faculty’s work as an introduction. 

Faculty Interview Tips:

When emailing the person to set up the appointment tell a little about yourself and include an up to date academic cv.

Introduce the faculty interview as an educational assignment for a graduate seminar on studio pedagogy and tell about the yearlong Graduate Collegiate Teaching Certificate Program you are in. The interview is for “educational purposes” only.

Be prepared to have more questions than needed so that you can follow up with one or two more or ask follow up questions that can further clarify or elucidate any points. The faculty may answer by sending images of student works that illustrate an issue or any images that the faculty may wish to add to the answers.

The interview can be done totally through email, or via skype, zoom, hangout, etc.  No in-person interviews are expected in this “stay-at-home” time.

Syllabi need to have a list of course goals followed by a list of course learning outcomes. 
 
Learning outcomes need to be itemized for each week or subsets of syllabus weeks
 
Aims/goals and learning outcomes need to be listed in the sample class project. Goals are the deeper understandings or the enduring values of the course or class project.  What is imagined and hoped to occur in the class….what is the greater good of the course or class project. These often are preceded by “to” and have active verbs.
 
These are examples:
 
to introduce
to contextualize
to engage
to grapple
to compare or contrast
to question
to inquire
to expand
to examine
to evaluate
to collaborate
to originate
 
 
Learning outcomes are the ideas and techniques that all students will be assured of coming away with at the end of the course or class project or weekly activity.
 
Learning outcomes can be graded with percentages and the designated percentages will correlate with the assessment percentages and be embedded in the grading rubric qualities. They can include conceptual ideas, technical methods, critical participation, projects or assignments and the final projects. What is assured each student will take away from the class is a learning outcome.
 
Learning outcomes can be distinquished if one thinks of them in terms of nouns.
 
These are examples:
 
A comprehension of…..    10 %
An ability or facility in….    15 %
A critical acumen around… 10%
A widening technical range exhibited in… %.
A generative series of four increasingly ambitious projects…..%
A finely resolved final portfolio of……%
An increasingly more integrative body of…..%
A deepening synthesis of media into a final project….
The capability to place one’s work in a social, historical or political arena..
The understanding of eastern and western influences….
A global awareness of…..
Beginning casting agility in three media…
Achievement in tonal range in B + W photography
Conceptual growth and original transposition of materials into….
A portfolio that exhibits trials, challenges, failures and accomplishments…
 
 
All teaching portfolios will exhibit a progression of learning in the syllabus; moving from emerging critical and technical thinking around the topic or subject to a more developing level of critical and technical thinking to a more accomplished or integrative level of critical and technical thinking and ability. How do your words, projects, activities and readings give evidence to this?
 
Please go back and customize your assessment rubrics to the actual course by adding relevant details that indicate the rubric is not for any class but for the specific class. Make sure your mid-term feedback form INCLUDES the course goals at the top before the likert and open-ended questions.
 
These are the areas that may enrich a portfolio.  Please don’t think how to shorten the document at this point; distillation of a well-conceived portfolio can occur later. We want to achieve an in-depth development that holistically and authentically represents pedagogy in the format of a tenure-track line.  The portfolio is dedicated to college-level students. Add the details such as seminal texts, citations for readings, safety elements and links, critique guides, images, resource lists, intersection with a museum collection, etc. The portfolio is not an outline for further work; it is a resolved and synthesized final project.
