TALKING ABOUT TEACHING is a University-wide seminar that explores pedagogical connections across disciplines and Schools. Designed by faculty for faculty, this seminar series showcases the work of Harvard master teachers through demonstrations of their pedagogy and discussions of its broader applications.

In four two-hour sessions, participants from across the University experience the pedagogy of one teacher, followed by a discussion – led by a faculty member from a different School – in which the seminar’s participants explore uses of the demonstrated method in their own classrooms.

Each year’s seminar series is focused around a pedagogical theme. Previous years have included:

• Case Teaching
• Experiential Learning
• Bringing the World into the Classroom

Faculty master teachers are drawn from across the University and have included:

Eleanor Duckworth (GSE), Diana Eck (FAS, HDS), Lani Guinier (HLS), Michael Hays (GSD), Ronald Heifetz (HKS), Nancy Kane (HSPH), Robert Lue (FAS), Joshua Margolis (HBS), Eric Mazur (FAS), Todd Rakoff (HLS), Helen Shields (HMS), and Laurel Ulrich (FAS).
