1 Mark (Mahoney, Berea College)

<p>Prompted to recollect the story of his department's recent curriculum revision, Mark talks about multiple topics, including: The renaming of Berea College's "Industrial Arts" program to its current name of "Technology and Applied Design" The self-study and curriculum revision process that led to the emphasis on "design thinking" The need for a common definition of the word "design," and his personal take on the concept The difference between personal trust (visiting a sick neighbor, letting a friend borrow your car) and professional trust (allowing a colleague to visit your classroom and critique your teaching), and why the latter is more difficult How he developed a "thick skin" for criticism on his teaching, and the need for others to develop similarly "think skins" so they can improve their courses for the sake of their students</p>
