The Original Project

What does Learner Centered look like?

The teaching program for 3 courses in first year is visualized as a glass box documenting course, planning teaching practices and student voices.

If you want something you are going to have to put in some effort to get it, it will not arrive to you exactly as you want it.

This is also a Resource Site for the Teaching Project "My First Six Months". For the 8 tutors of these courses to share a common platform of pedagogical practices. Practices that privilege the learner both at the centre and as a partner.

The Project comprises three courses and a program of public events: Two Studios, a Materials+Processes course and an Open Studio. There are 6 teachers (including me), 120-150 students, and the tutorials run morning. Every Wed (UCD), Thu (D4S), Fri (IDE) for 12 weeks. The Google-Slides documents follow a format of a traditional hard copy handout describing the studio capacity development goals and the project propositions. Since this is an archive I have posted previous versions of the Slides documents - treating this site as a repository of documents, to maintain a record of the process.
