Preconceptions...

Posted by Michael Arnzen at 0:59 in Theory.

A humble reminder to self:

When I teach about the history of the recent past, I tell my students that one of the greatest dangers is that they think that they already know what happened and why. Similarly, in approaching the scholarship of teaching, we have to rid ourselves from the preconception that we already know the answers about teaching because we have done so much of it. -- Roy Rosenzweig, "The Scholarship of Teaching: Two Suggestions and One Caution" (from Inventio, 1999).

Inventio is a great online journal on the scholarship of teaching. The latest issue has articles pertinent to my field, English, in it's special topic on "Over-Reading" (a common cry of some students, no?).
