College Teaching in the First Year

In this video Team Based Learning in a Foundation Studio Class about college teaching in the foundation studio, Professor Micki Spiller is seen teaching first-year students in a class which is part of the Space, Form and Process course at Pratt institute.

Professor Micki Spiller published her research on how team-based  learning can support all learners (linguistically and socially ) in a first-year, foundation studio (2022). Professor Spiller’s focus on team-based learning is related to aspects of Zaretta Hammond’s work on culturally relevant pedagogy through its focus on the learning environment.
