9 Trinity College of Arts & Sciences faculty, including six SLCE faculty members, were awarded a planning grant by The Provost’s Office for “Transformative Learning: A Shared Intellectual Interest across the University,” an initiative to identify transformative learning moments among Duke students. Members will develop a shared knowledge of transformative learning practices and assessment. They will host a discussion with Dr. Stacey Johnson of Vanderbilt University, a renowned expert in transformative learning in language education, convene two campus-wide discussions, and invite a nationally recognized speaker, Dr. Richard Kiely, Senior Fellow, Office of Engagement Initiatives at Cornell University, to give a public talk. The group will create a shared toolkit of assessment tools for transformative learning and develop conference proposals and a publication to showcase this work.
