Our annual Open Pedagogy Fellowship provides support for faculty to design "renewable assignments," authentic assessments that help students become agents of change in their communities. The assignments are collaboratively developed by multi-disciplinary teams across three institutions—KPU, Montgomery College (Maryland, USA), and Maricopa Community Colleges (Arizona, USA). The conceptual framework on which this fellowship is based is the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), which is a set of 17 goals that address a wide range of social issues, such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace and justice. The faculty teams design their course assignments over the summer and deploy them over the following academic year. A student showcase in the Spring provides an opportunity for the wider university community to appreciate the students' contributions. 

We are pleased to announce that KPU's 2020 Open Pedagogy Fellows are: 

Andrea Niosi (Marketing) 

Constanza Rojas-Primus (Languages and Cultures) 

David Sadoway (Geography) 

Dorothy Barenscott (Art History) 

Please join us in congratulating our latest fellows!
