Teaching Excellence gives context of my work in the classroom including pedagogical initiatives, and focuses on a selection of my teaching tactics for active learning, the use of technology, collaboration and reflection.<\/p>\n
The following outlines the ways my teaching excellence is made tangible. I explain my teaching philosophy in theoretical terms, followed by a section on contextualization of my role in the department, with a digital art research focus area. I further demonstrate with examples of pedagogically innovative methods in action; active learning and utilizing technology, connection to community and reflective practices for criticality and informing personal agency, for students and in my own teaching practices.<\/p>\n
In 2018 I was honoured with a UBC Killam Teaching Prize. While the nomination package is confidential, a summary, read at the May 16 2018 Faculty of Arts Meeting and the May 23 2018 Convocation ceremony, indicates excerpts of the nomination:<\/p>\n
For students at every level, Christine D\u2019Onofrio\u2019s teaching is \u201csuperlative: innovative, rigorous, and<\/em> empathetic,\u201d and her ability to share her expertise in critical studio practice is termed \u201clegendary\u201d by her colleagues. She extends teaching beyond the classroom in ways that have changed both her department\u2019s teaching culture and students\u2019 lives. She literally expands students\u2019 horizons by leading Go Global programs to study art in New York City and Venice. She has been a leader in UBC\u2019s movements toward innovative teaching, blending online and in-class approaches as well as in working beyond conventional classroom spaces, like creating \u201cArtists in Society.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n These excerpts can attest to the lasting impacts my initiatives have had both in my Lecturer and Instructor position over the last ten years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Teaching Excellence gives context of my work in the classroom including pedagogical initiatives, and focuses on a selection of my teaching tactics for active learning, the use of technology, collaboration and reflection.
