Journals on Pedagogical Partnership

Teaching and Learning Together in Higher Education

Teaching and Learning Together in Higher Education (TLTHE) serves as a forum for the reflective work of college faculty and students working together to explore and enact effective classroom practice. Published three times per year, the journal is premised on the centrality to successful pedagogy of dialogue and collaboration among faculty and students in explorations and revisions of approaches to teaching and learning in higher education. 

International Journal for Students as Partners

The International Journal for Students as Partners (IJSaP) “explores new perspectives, practices, and policies regarding how students and staff (used here and subsequently to refer to academic staff/faculty, professional staff, and other stakeholders) are working in partnership to enhance learning and teaching in higher education. Shared responsibility for teaching and learning is the underlying premise of students as partners, and IJSaP is produced using a student-staff partnership approach” (IJSaP, n.d.). 

Listen to Alison Cook-Sather, director of the Teaching and Learning Institute at Bryn Mawr and Haverford Colleges, discuss how pedagogical partnership breeds student, faculty, and staff satisfaction and empowerment.
