Us
The Dialogue on Learning site was created by Annette Bell, Lisa Ford, and Khaki Wunderlich as a Tompkins Cortland Community College sabbatical leave project. We welcome comments and suggestions. In addition, we invite you to join our teaching and learning discussion group by clicking here or by clicking on the "Community" button on the navigation bar.
Annette Bell
|
Annette Bell has been teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages for over twenty years, ten of which have been at TC3. Both because of her own travels in over thirty countries and because of working with several thousand international students over the years, she has a passion for multiculturalism and diversity issues. Since the beginning of her teaching career, she has been aware that the environment in a classroom of ESOL students is a key factor in their learning. She learned that making students comfortable and confident was key to their success in improving their language skills. |
|
A concrete result of her sabbatic is a greater awareness of the factors that are necessary to create a learning centered environment, why the environment plays a significant role in learning, and how to actually create a positive learning environment.

Lisa FordLisa Ford has
been teaching at TC3 since 1993. Currently, she teaches teaches
academic writing (freshman composition) and screenwriting. Lisa's
teaching and creative writing experience, along with over ten years
of coaching in the Odyssey of the Mind program, have contributed
to her interest in the connections between creativity and the construction
of individual meaning. This sabbatical leave project helped her
make connections between the study of creativity and practical applications
for the community college classroom. Please click here to email Lisa: fordl@sunytccc.edu |

Khaki Wunderlich
 |
Khaki Wunderlich's training in neurobiology, law, and education came together when she began working with students with disabilities in higher education thirteen years ago. She started searching for ideas to help the students develop alternative, compensating strategies that could improve their success. That desire quickly became a dream that the need to accommodate a disability become a rare occurrence because faculty and institutions recognize that all students possess different sets of strengths and challenges and design learning opportunities that allow access to the broadest possible population. |
This sabbatical leave
project allowed her the luxury of time to integrate ideas and information
to better describe practical ways to support the breadth of unique learners
in our classrooms and to search out other projects applying universal
design concepts to learning.
Khaki is responsible for academic support services at TC3 and teaches
probability and statistics when time allows.
