Student Centered Integrative Learning:
Creating Meaning...
Building Bridges...
Developing Interdisciplinary Networks
Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should
contact Jan Monroe, Faculty Development Coordinator, in the
Office of the Provost at monroej@ithaca.edu. We ask that
requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible. Workshop Description: Why is it so hard for students to connect the concepts in my discipline, beyond ‘just the facts’? Why can’t they see the connections between what they study in my class and in other classes? How can I get students to make these connections faster and in a more sophisticated manner? These are persistent and perplexing questions with which faculty members wrestle as they prepare each class they teach. In this interactive set of workshops, participants will learn why students respond the way they do to our carefully crafted courses, what we can do to deepen their understanding of our own disciplines, and how we can connect students and ideas across disciplines in ways that help them see the larger picture. Participants will come away with concrete strategies for designing integrative learning into their own classes, get ideas for how to design and implement interdisciplinary courses, and have the chance to look at successful examples of courses using integrative learning strategies. Dr. Tine Reimers serves as Special Assistant to the Provost for Faculty and Program Development at the University at Albany.

Her 20 years of classroom experience teaching students from diverse backgrounds, combined with 14 years of faculty development experience at UNC–Chapel Hill, Indiana University– Bloomington, the University of Texas at El Paso, and Cornell University have helped her build a thorough understanding of the strategies best suited for faculty advancement, faculty mentoring, leadership development and effective student learning in higher education.
