On October 11-12, four Elon faculty participated in a
meeting of the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL)
Institutional Leadership Program. Elon is part of the CASTL theme on “student
voices in the scholarship of teaching and learning.”
During the meeting at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Elon’s
CASTL group worked with colleagues from around the nation to outline a book on
this theme, scheduled for publication in late 2009. Portions of the book will
be written by Elon faculty and students.
Elon participants at the October meeting were:
–
Ashley Holmes (English)
–
Deborah Long (Education/Faculty Administrative Fellow,
Assistant to the President)
–
Jessie Moore (English)
–
Peter Felten (Center for the Advancement of Teaching
and Learning)
Elon participants in this CASTL initiative who did not
travel to Las Vegas include Stephen Schulman (Philosophy), Jeffrey Coker
(Biology), Megan Conklin (Computing Sciences), Ayesha Delpish (Mathematics),
and Mary Knight-McKenna (Education).
