Study Question for 2007-2008: What keeps us from genuine dialogue across multiple
perspectives? And what would encourage that dialogue
in sustaining a respectful, inclusive learning
culture? We will pursue three thematic strands
related to this larger question: Identity and
Influence; Co-Mentoring and Co-Inquiry; and Innovations
in Assessing Teaching and Learning.

Learning Disruptions
In May 2007, TLA members Josh Bergman, Kari Painter,
Luke Ware, and Carmen Werder facilitated a conference
session studying learning disruptions at the Pacific
Northwest Higher Education Teaching & Learning
Conference.
Based on information from WWU students and faculty
as well as session participants, the study generated
common
disruptions, hypothesized potential
causes, and proposed promising
strategies.
