GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR FLC FACULTY AND LOCAL EDUCATORS!
Bring your lunch and join us at the Center of Southwest Studies for an overview of Object-Based Learning and ways you can integrate the Center’s dynamic collections into your teaching practice. This hourlong session will also include brief presentations by the Center’s 2023-’24 Teaching Fellows, Paige Belinte (Diné), MEd, and Candace Nadon, PhD, who will share how they worked with the Center’s collections to enhance their students’ learning experiences.
Object-based learning is a student-centered teaching approach that uses material objects such as artwork, natural history specimens, archaeological and historical objects, and archival documents to promote learning. The Center’s Teaching Fellows Program encourages the development of object-based curricular initiatives, and the opportunity is open to faculty at Fort Lewis College as well as educators across the Four Corners Region.
