This mini-course grew out of the annual orientation workshop hosted by Davidson College’s Deliberative Citizenship Initiative (DCI) that kicks off each year of the Deliberative Pedagogy (DeeP) Collaborative. It contains five parts, including a brief introduction, a survey of relevant definitions and motivations for embedding deliberation into the classroom (DeeP 101), and an exploration of deliberative pedagogy approaches, frameworks, and concepts (DeeP 201). It also surveys specific methods, tools, and techniques that faculty can use to incorporate more deliberation into their courses (DeeP 301) and presents an example of a course that was designed to do so (DeeP 401). It concludes with some questions and resources for faculty to consider and utilize as they reflect on how they might add deliberative components into their teaching (DeeP 501).

Deliberative-Pedagogy-Mini-Course_DeeP-501To assist faculty in developing their own deliberation-involved course, we have developed a Deliberative Pedagogy Course Plan template. The course plan, provided below, includes sections on deliberation-related expected outcomes, graded deliberation-elements of the course, significant time for deliberation, engagement with the deliberation literature, cultivation of deliberation-related skills, and deliberation-related reflection opportunities.
