What do we hope for from this seminar?

(Good point: all teaching is learning.)
Nuggets to use in classes: conveying expertise ("how do you do that?") effectively in the classroom.
Ideas and ways to be an effective, engaging, interesting teacher.
(Good point: we've all had boring classes and we don't want to perpetuate this "tradition.")
How to use one's own experience to spark the class: how to demonstrate and how to do.
Integrating theory and practice.
Convey that learning and integration are ongoing processes. Iterative processes of learning for teachers and for learners.
See not just the thing you have but how you got it.
How to use tools such as Blackboard, classroom equipment, etc.

Culture of adjuncts in relation to full-time faculty.


Professor Two:
Didn't see how his expertise connected to the need.
Didn't understand the core need: astronauts needed an engaging teaching
Context becomes crucial
Handed the rock to the student
Powers of observation and articulation
Playfully sarcastic
"The dead cat story"--stealth teaching with humor: observation, assessment, context
A physical and metaphorical journey
Stories: concrete, integrative, contextual
dramatic backdrop: the vastness--appeals to the imagination
Doesn't just talk about story--tells the story, inhabits the story, not just "telling it out of his mouth"
"Covering the material" is not the driver.
We see his energy, conveys animation (life), LOVED ROCKS,
If you want to bring the subject to life, demonstrate (act out) how the subject brings you to life.
He had a plan, there were rehearsed parts and spontaneous parts: agile teaching
Professor two gave them the "why."
