October 10 — Learning with Hope, Teaching with Joy
The joy of exuberant discovery, “aha” moments, and new intellectual connections can be quickly lost when students cannot translate that learning meaningfully into their vision of the future. Building on the neuroscience of joyful education, hope theory, insights from faculty and students at IUPUI, and her own sixty-three years of learning, Sharon Hamilton will combine research, theory, and story to talk about the importance of learning with hope and teaching with joy.
When: Wednesday, October 10 4:30 PM
Where: IUPUI University Library Auditorium, 755 West Michigan Street, Indianapolis
This is the first of IUPUI’s Cutting Edge Lecture Series for fall of 2007. Free and open to the public. No reservations are necessary.
Sharon Hamilton is Chancellor’s Professor of English and Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at IUPUI. After serving as founding director of the IUPUI institutional portfolio, she has, until recently, directed the project team developing the conceptual design and implementation process for student electronic portfolios that document both improvement and achievement in student learning. Additionally, Dr. Hamilton is a Carnegie Scholar with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning. For the past several years, she has played a leadership role on campus for the assessment of teaching and learning. Dr. Hamilton has written several journal articles and book chapters about writing across the curriculum, collaborative learning, literacy, and portfolios. She has just completed an edited collection: The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at IUPUI.
