Making School Matter: The University Liggett School Center for Innovative Teaching and Learning Podcast

The Making School Matter podcast is a journey toward the discovery of how school should be a place of meaningful agency rather than something that happens to children. We explore best practices of engaging learners as they make meaning and connect to the world beyond the walls of schools and the lives they might lead in it. University Liggett School is located in Southeast Detroit and is known for emboldening learners by giving them the tools and the confidence to answer their own questions and cultivate their passions, thereby assuring an understanding of the world that is deeply, individually meaningful. University Liggett School is the home of The Center for Teaching and Learning (CITL). CITLs goal is to empower educators to find ways to connect and guide future generations towards knowledge and self-discovery.2022 Parenting Relationships Social Sciences

    Place-Based Humanities Education
    May 12 2022

    In this episode, Mike Medvinsky talks with Adam Hellebuyck, University Liggett School's Dean of Curriculum and Assessment, and Chris Hemler, University Liggett School's Cynthia N. Ford Chair of History and the Social Studies, about the place-based education model in the study of the humanities. More than eight years ago, Hellebuyck and Hemler redesigned University Liggett School's 10th grade United States History class to be taught through a Detroit and Michigan lens. A focus on the places, people, and events in the students' communities has made a tremendous impact on the learning and engagement. It was also made a positive impact on their teaching approach.
