Driving While Black: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights,
by Gretchen Sorin
April 5, 2022
4:00 - 5:00 pm
Register for Zoom link
Driving While Black demonstrates that the car—the ultimate symbol of independence and possibility—has always held particular importance for African Americans, allowing black families to evade the dangers presented by an entrenched racist society and to enjoy, in some measure, the freedom of the open road. Melding new archival research with her family’s story, Gretchen Sorin recovers a lost history, demonstrating how, when combined with black travel guides—including the famous Green Book.

Identifying Teaching Perspectives and Developing a Personal Philosophy of Teaching Statement
Presented by Steve Taff, PhD
Associate Professor of Occupational Therapy and Medicine
Director, Teaching Scholars Program, Washington University School of Medicine
Two parts via Zoom*
Part 1: Friday, April 15 10:30 - 12:30 pm
Part 2: Monday, April 25 10:00 - 11:00 am
Register for Zoom link
This professional development program consists of two related sessions. The first session address the question of “what do we teach and why do we teach the way we do?”. Each educator brings a unique mix of experiences, skills, attitudes, and knowledge to their craft, however, we seldom take the time to reflect on those elements and how they manifest in our day-to-day teaching in the classroom and clinic. In this first session, we examine seven potential influences on teaching styles, including Pratt’s Five Perspectives of Teaching. During interactive lecture and small group discussions, we will explore the transmission, developmental, apprenticeship, nurturing, and social reform paradigms and how those play out in everyday teaching.
The second session is a hands-on experience where participants will be guided in documenting the why, what, and how behind their individual teaching styles in a statement which can be used for promotion and as a quality assurance tool for enhancing teaching and learning.
*Prework will be sent 2 weeks prior to part one.
