Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary : 2001 Seminar
Newsbrief
Dean Michael Aune reports that PLTS’s educational project, “A Faculty Reforming,” is designed to help them become teachers who will form particular kinds of students. “The curriculum must work as a whole,” he writes, “and it cannot do that unless we continue our conversations with one another and work to make sure that what we teach and how we teach it are mutually reinforcing. So, to these ends, our faculty is continuing the discussion we began last fall of how we teach contextually, with a particular focus on our ‘core’ courses. Each Wednesday morning throughout this spring semester, we meet for 75 minutes for presentation and discussion of a particular core course, attending to matters of course content, pedagogies, integration of learnings, and the relation of the course to the complexity and ambiguity of our tradition and the world.”
