dc.description.abstractMy poster presents an early stage project, entitled Enhancing Educational Leadership, Student Engagement, and Community Ties: The Untapped Potential of Block Week Courses. It explores how various meaningful conversations—with colleagues, researchers, students, and teaching assistants—can help develop concrete guidelines and much-needed resources for instructors of five-day block week courses. My presentation highlights a particularly challenging aspect of the research: the process of engaging colleagues and students in meaningful conversations, and of developing resources for instructors teaching classes in this still unusual format. Drawing on Roxår’s & et al.’s network approach, the poster depicts the various ways in which workshops, conference presentations, interviews, community of practice meetings, and informal conversations can ignite change and contribute to improving teaching practices.en_US
