Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere

Led by Sophia Acord, Eric Kligerman, and Kevin Knudson

Have you ever thought about teaching a course with a colleague from a different discipline? Through team-teaching, faculty can create innovative new courses for students that tie together different ways of looking at a topic and demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary inquiry. Instructors also benefit from collaborating by exploring their interests, learning new tools and areas of work, and seeing the broader impacts of their disciplines in other fields. But translating collegial conversations into a cohesive course, particularly with a partner from a very different discipline, requires some creativity. This workshop draws on the experience of over 15 UF team-taught courses made possible through the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere’s Interdisciplinary Team-Teaching Grant to show you how disciplines as diverse as mathematics and German literature make excellent course-fellows.

This nuts and bolts workshop follows on the November 27, 2018, Team Teaching from Classroom to Gallery workshop, and will walk you through the steps of preparing a team-taught course. Start planning your syllabus and the division of labor in your classroom. And develop a flyer to recruit students into your exciting collaboration!

This workshop will be on Friday, February 22 from 3:00pm – 4:30pm in 409 Yon Hall. You will need to register for the workshop here.

This workshop is part of the Passport to Great Teaching certificate track.  For more information on upcoming activities, click here.
