The 3 keys for me were: 

  1. That the syllabus is a hypothesis.  I feel that this is also how the students view the syllabus.  Closing the Loop- rexamining the hypothesis in terms of student outcomes – is the stage of the process that needs to happen each term.  

   2.  Bringing your research to your teaching in a systemic way-  How do we quantify learning?   Successful outcomes may look very different.  

     3.  You have to think much more carefully about what I think student learning looks like

because you have to define it.  Defining it is what happens when the above challenge has been met.  The instructor has learned what a successful student brings to the table.    

Motivations

1- constant improvement and renewal

2 – learning about students

3 – reexamining your discipline and institutional biases
