Sandie Morgan and Warren Doody share about Elizabeth Leonard’s interdisciplinary legacy on episode 357 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

She was very intentional about introducing faculty, colleagues, and students to people from outside that would bring different perspectives.

She could fight if she had to. She could stand her ground if she had to. What was so wonderful about her was she always fought the right fight.

She was a one-size-fits-all person. She could do so many different things.

She knew so much from such a broad spectrum of disciplines and she wanted her students to have that kind of competency.

Susan Blum shares about ungrading on episode 350 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Genuine education isn’t simply this points game.

If the learning is interesting, people will do it.

Think about your students as people who are learning things for purposes. If they are not learning for a grade, why else are they learning?

The goal is learning. Learning can be for the purpose of use or interest.
