the teaching visits program<\/strong> is an important way by which the cft promotes collaborative inquiry and reflection. specifically, the teaching visits program provides case-based opportunities for vanderbilt teachers to consider choices they have when constructing their classes.<\/p>\n a small group of visitors observes a host\u2019s class on a selected day and then engages in an hour of conversation about the instructor\u2019s strategies.they are great opportunities for vanderbilt teachers to observe directly and then discuss<\/a> various forms of teaching across the disciplines, building collegiality and expertise around inquiries into teaching and learning.<\/p>\n associate professor of management<\/strong><\/p>\n luke froeb practices problem-based teaching in his economics course for business students.\u00a0 instead of describing economic models and how they are used in policy decisions, froeb focuses on business problems of interest to his students and helps them understand how economic models and principles can solve those problems.\u00a0 by leading with the concrete and the practical, froeb motivates his students to engage with the more theoretical material and gives them tools for making sense of it.\u00a0 much of his class time is spent questioning students, drawing out their ideas and testing them against the problem at hand.\u00a0 froeb describes teaching as \u201ca full-contact sport;\u201d he doesn\u2019t shy away from cold-calling students.\u00a0 recently, he\u2019s experimented with the inverted or \u201cflipped\u201d classroom by providing students with short videos to watch before class<\/a>, thereby freeing class time for more problem solving and discussion.<\/p>\n date: monday october 28th, 2013luke froeb<\/h2>\n
