Into Practice

Into Practice, a biweekly communication distributed to active instructors during the academic year, was inspired by a successful 2012 HILT grant project. The e-letter highlights the pedagogical practices of individual faculty members from across schools and delivers timely, evidence-based teaching advice, contributing to and strengthening a University-wide community of practice around teaching.

“We really think of teaching as a negotiation—negotiating with students for their willingness to be engaged, to try something new, to own their mistakes and be open and self-reflect. As faculty, we need to be role modeling that ourselves and be fellow learners in the classroom alongside our students.”

Sheila Heen, Thaddeus R. Beal Professor of Practice and a Deputy Director of the Harvard Negotiation Project at Harvard Law School (HLS)

“Teaching to me is not just meeting but actually driving change to meet the advances in dental education. Dental education is multidimensional: a Venn diagram of student-centeredness, assessment, and values.”

Dr. Sang E. Park, Associate Professor of Restorative Dentistry and Biomaterials Sciences and Associate Dean for Dental Education (HSDM)

“You come [to class] with a set of ideas, but also with an open mind. Then you immerse yourself in research on objects, such that these objects can speak back to you and make you expand, extend, and go beyond whatever you have originally planned.”

Ewa Lajer-Burcharth, William Dorr Boardman Professor of Fine Arts (FAS)
