Hi <<First Name>>,
The DFA National team is thinking a lot about teaching. Between an intensive redesign of the DFA curriculum and a reflection of our own facilitation methods, we're circling a number of juicy questions:
- What is the difference between teaching and facilitating, and what does the DFA design process train students to do?
- What are best practices for co-creating meaning; specifically around words that are new to the audience?
- How can we pivot DFA curriculum to be more accessible and flexible for studios working on different timelines?
These questions are complex, challenging, and fun to untangle. They also inspired much of the programming for Fall Kickoff. We hope you'll join us in digging deeper -- check out the schedule below and sign up today!
Best,
Alden + the DFA Team
