Convergent Teaching with Aaron Pallas and Anna Neumann

While much public discourse argues over the value and the future of higher education—whether it really “pays off” or how we can leverage technological tools and big data—what’s often missing from the conversation is the importance of good teaching. Aaron Pallas (https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/amp155/) and Anna Neumann (https://www.tc.columbia.edu/faculty/an350/), professors of education at Teachers College, Columbia University, believe that good college teaching matters—so much so that they wrote a book about it! In today’s podcast episode, Drs. Pallas and Neumann discuss their book Convergent Teaching (2019) and share three pedagogical moves to convergent teaching, as well as dead ideas that it debunks.
