Relating the experiences of faculty from disciplines as diverse as art history, economics, psychology, and philosophy, this book offers a theory- and research-based heuristic for helping faculty transform their courses and programs, as well as practical examples of the heuristic in action. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The authors draw on the threshold concepts framework, research in writing studies, and theories of learning, leadership, and change to deftly explore \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e faculty are often stymied in their efforts to design meaningful curricula for deep learning and \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e carefully scaffolded professional development for faculty teams can help make such change possible. This book is a powerful demonstration of how faculty members can be empowered when professional development leaders draw on a range of scholarship that is not typically connected. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In today's climate, courses, programs, and institutions are often assessed by and rewarded for proxy metrics that have little to do with learning, with grave consequences for students. The stakes have never been higher, particularly for public higher education. Faculty members need opportunities to work together using their own expertise and to enact meaningful learning opportunities for students. Professional developers have an important role to play in such change efforts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e WAC scholars and practitioners, leaders of professional development and centers for teaching excellence, program administrators and curriculum committees from all disciplines, and faculty innovators from many fields will find not only hope but also a blueprint for action in \u003ci\u003eChanging Conceptions, Changing Practices\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eContributors: \u003c\/i\u003e Juan Carlos Albarrán, José Amador, Annie Dell'Aria, Kate de Medeiros, Keith Fennen, Jordan A.
