Editor's Notes
- This started with inspiration from Robin Derosa’s open anthology of early American literature. Student co-created text The open faculty Patchbook is us doing the same for faculty development A community quilt of pedagogy. Many patches written by individuals put together to create a manual that tries to cover most things to do with teaching in college Put out a list of skills like discussion.. group work… assessment… the basic things What came back were not tips for how to do this so much as the true stories of teaching. These stories included Bigfoot, bees. Tetris I'll tell you a little bit about a few of them The Open Faculty Patchbook is an ongoing collection of stories by post-secondary educators, (mostly college) about their teaching. It was meant to serve as a community collaboration of how-to-teach tips and tricks that can be patched together to form a sort of manual on how to teach. What it became, however, was a bit different than that. It is a book and it is about teaching. There are a lot of great ideas on how to go about your teaching. That is for sure. There are some gaps. But what it is more than anything, I think, is an warm invitation to enter the community of open educators. The Patchbook itself got a number of educators to write about their teaching. Often for the very first time. It got them to think about their teaching and to think about sharing their teaching. And by putting it out there it has lead a few more to write about their teaching, adding new voices to the world of open educational practices. That is what has excited me the most about The Open Faculty Patchbook. We’ve only scratched the surface. There’s much more to hear. It’s all openly licenced so you could remix these for your own purposes or to your own institution if you’d like. We also had these wonderful illustrations of all the patchers drawn by Samantha Pitcher
- The latest. I gave a talk a month ago and one of the attendees decided to add to it. Hint hint. She writes about using flipgrid which is a cool tool. Even cooler is the practice of walking the walk and doing what you ask of the students along with them
- What this one looks like is a plea to let your students help themselves. What it really is is Katrina showing us just how fully she is in her students corner
- From Cairo. This one shows that your patch could already have been written! It was already published but it covered a huge need for the text to you know enough quilt to have you covered… assessment and how to do it to truly assess and enhance learning
- George Fogarasi writes about how he works in his class to foster and build respect for each other. Obviously that involves Bigfoot. His writing is like really good jazz
- Liz stone gives us an indigenous perspective on assessment and learning by telling the story of her experience as a student
- Sherri teaches phys ed in Austria elementary. She is a prolific and wonderful blogger. This piece is a wonderful reflection on twenty plus years on prepping for a new year and still feeling unprepared and how that is just fine.
- Helen uses an assisgnment to ignite discussion about feedback and make connections across curriculum
- Chat about trying to set the stage for it to be okay to fail… sometimes. Not when you’re up a tree, but maybe when you’re on the ground. Try to allow it.
- This one was so wonderful to me bc it was built off of the other patches already there. The rug that tied it all together and pushed us into more course design and development than in class teaching. Preps you for the next level or maybe future patchbooks.
- Taking the idea of the non-disposable assignment into the stratosphere… mapping your outcomes and assignments to the UN SDGs
- This is where I tried to for UDL’s sake try to use the analogy of Tetris... That tetris is like teaching. It starts off making sense bc you have these learners of all different shapes and needs and speeds and then I realized the point of the game is to spin the pieces, fit them all together and make them disappear… but when my analogy fell apart my colleague Jodie black rushed in and truly described how to plan for variability using UDL principles Where I tried to fit lesson planning into a tetris analogy and Jodie brought it back to UDL
- Sorry to the other patchers, but this is The stairway to heaven of the Patchbook. Just a wonderful look into the practices of someone truly walking the walk of empathetic teaching. I would recommend reading this one twice over reading the two half patches I wrote. Empathy in Science pedagogy.
- There are a bunch more. I could have picked any of them. The patchbook has contributions all the way from technologists who dream of being instructors all the way up to deans and the president of our college. Equally wonderful to have all of these perspectives. The rug that tied the room together was Samantha pitcher’s illustrations of the patchers. Most of us write these patches from the privilege of full time paid positions. She drew an illustration of each of us without that privilege. Many hours. Recognize anyone? Hire her for some graphic design. I’m certain there’s going to be some amazing graphic novel from her some day samanthapitcher.com
- A typical topic finding session with me. What’s already out there Something you’ve already written? Digital pedagogy Learning strategies
