This graduate seminar focuses on learning disciplinary concepts and practices, both in and out of formal instructional settings. Most theories of learning presume classrooms as settings for learning, though it is clear that people learn across a variety of places and over their entire lifespan. In this class, we consider how learning is organized within and across varied settings beyond the classroom. These include workplaces, sports or ensemble performance, commercial and non-profit community centers designed to support youth development, families and home environments, and online spaces. We will think broadly about learning on and off the “grid” of formal schooling, and begin to develop new research on how people learn in and out of school.
