As January comes to an end and we grow more firmly ensconced in the new year, I have been writing a lot. In my role as program administrator for faculty development at the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), my intention to do more of the two things:
- Sensemaking
- Sensegiving
Note: These two acts are iterative and twinned processes. If you want to read more, I highly recommend Adriana Kezar’s article “Sensemaking/Sensegiving.”
But for now, here’s the quick and dirty: I first attempt to “make sense” of complexity . . . and then I try to create opportunities for others that provide them access to what I have made sense of.
An example of this is the Assessment, Teaching, and Learning Podcast.
