Description

A self-guided instructional journey for educators in multi- and interdisciplinary learning.

Removing the Educational Silos is designed as a source of inspiration, replication, and adaptation. Each chapter, in varying modalities, addresses interdisciplinary course development and implementation in institutions of higher education. The essays focus on common issues like navigating administrative systems and solving the challenges encountered when crossing departments or colleges, whether regarding course listings or the intricacies of course loads on each professor.

Chapters also provide detailed information on the nuts and bolts of the specific course or courses taught, including syllabi, lesson examples, and both formal and informal assessments implemented.

Contributors candidly offer discussions of the failures and successes of their interdisciplinary collaborations, including course design, lesson planning, or complications brought on by unforeseen pandemics. Most chapters end with a summary of lessons learned, where experiences from the field provide opportunities for growth and continued exploration.

An excellent resource for educators, this volume offers readers guidance and encouragement to implement the approaches described, along with inspiration to forge their own paths in the world of multi- and interdisciplinary teaching and research.
