Be respectful.Listen patiently with the primary goal of understanding. Give
everyone adequate air time & work to create a safe space for taking risks.
Be open.Work to understand differences, not to erase them. Try out new
ideas & be open to disagreeing, making new connections, & challenging old views.

don’t understand. Avoid presumptions; ask others what they think & why.
Be present.Engage actively, but know that silence sometimes is ok. Try to be
prompt. Resist technological distractions. Come ready to contribute & listen.

TLA BIG Question for 2009-2010
What do WE mean by a sustainable, reflective learning culture?
And how might we use that shared understanding to strengthen
connections: between existing resources and members of the
campus community to provide individualized guidance and co-mentoring?
between the lived experiences of teachers and learners outside of the classroom and what is happening in the classroom to provide engaging learning experiences?
across borders within WWU and between WWU and external communities to provide interdisciplinary/community-based learning experiences?

TLA: Practice and PraxisTLA: Practice and PraxisDuring Winter 2010 the Anth. 303 Qualitative
Methods class examined the dynamics of TLA through observation, interviews, and focus groups.
The primary research question: Is the guiding philosophy of TLA of equal voice for all stakeholders in teaching and learning at Western (the praxis) actually realized in TLA sessions (the practice)?
Resoundingly, analysis of the data confirmed that TLA practice and the praxis work in tandem. Students, faculty, staff, administrators, and community members freely engage with each other in common purpose to improve teaching and learning.
