Session 1: Interactive Keynote: Transformative change through threshold concepts 
Elizabeth Wardle

In this session, participants will be introduced to the threshold concept framework–a framework aimed at making disciplinary knowledge and disciplinary practices more transparent and accessible for students. Session participants will leave with a better understanding of the student success implications of implementing a threshold concept framework when evaluating our curricula across a single course, a sequence of courses, or program.

Session slides

10:30 a.m.

Session 2: Workshop: Naming What You Know 
Elizabeth Wardle with assistance from site coordinators

In this session, participants will put the threshold concept framework into action. Working in small groups, faculty within the same field of interest will be led through a series of prompts aimed at articulating tacit knowledge and practices that might be impeding student progression within a course or program. Participants will leave this session having made explicit some of the implicit ways of thinking and practicing in their fields, with the goal of building on these to create inclusive and innovative learning environments. 

Session slides

12:30 p.m.

Lunch

1:30 p.m.

Session 3: Chaired Panel: Building Innovative Pedagogies Around Threshold Concepts 
Elizabeth Wardle and Alex Arreguin moderate a panel of faculty from Maricopa (Stacy Wilson, English and Jennifer Fay, Exercise Science) and Miami University (Anne Farrell, Accountancy and Brian Schultz, Teaching, Curriculum, and Educational Inquiry)

In this session, participants will hear from a panel of their peers that will describe ways to practically implement a threshold concept framework. Participants will have an opportunity to ask panelists questions regarding the challenges and opportunities of implementing this framework at the course or program level. Ultimately, participants will leave with examples of innovative work that they can use as models as they revise their own course and program materials.

Session slides

2:30 p.m.
