Patterns, Places, and Pedagogy

October 23, 4-5:30pm, In-person at the High Line (Rain Date October 30, 4 pm)
Facilitated by Şule Aksoy

Patterns are everywhere—in nature, architecture, social interactions, and even the way we learn and think. Observing these patterns allows us to gain deeper insights into the world and how we relate to it. This workshop will be an opportunity to critically engage with place-based education that uses the local community and environment as a starting point for learning. Participants will think about how to encourage students to observe, analyze, and engage with the world in a way that deepens their understanding.

Using Archival Materials in the Language Classroom

This workshop is for graduate student instructors that would like to use more archival materials in their language classrooms, as well as those who already use a variety of archives/repositories to enhance language pedagogies in the classroom.
