Decoding Your Discipline for Student Learning
Friday, 5/9/2025, 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Berks Campus Multipurpose Room

 

Each curriculum has spots where students struggle. In this workshop, you will focus on an area of struggle in your own curriculum using the Decoding the Disciplines, an internationally recognized method developed for college instructors. You will be coached by Dr. Joan Middendorf, the co-founder of the Decoding method as you unpack your implicit expert knowledge and turn it into explicit mental moves you can share with your students. You will also have an opportunity to design activities to encourage students to practice these explicit mental moves.

This workshop is hosted by the Berks Annual Teaching Colloquium. Penn State instructors from other campuses are welcome to attend. There is no charge for this workshop, but registration is required: https://pennstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_06c3QR7xjE5r9DE
