CCSC-NW 2009 Key Characteristics Working together on curriculum review, planning and delivery of a course related to the professional's expertise Division of labor to exploit what each does best Regular interaction between industry fellow, students, and teacher during academic term Sustainable time commitment for both faculty member and industry fellow

10. CCSC-NW 2009 It’s about expertise

11. CCSC-NW 2009 Periodic Table of Expertise Beer-mat Knowledge Popular Understanding Primary Source Knowledge Interactional Expertise Contributory Expertise Collins and Evans, Rethinking Expertise, University of Chicago Press, 2007

12. CCSC-NW 2009 Tacit knowledge Lots of expert knowledge is tacit “those things we know how to do but are unable to explain to others.” Expert tacit knowledge is learned socially “mastery … cannot be gained from books … but can sometimes … be gained by prolonged social interaction with members of the culture that embeds the practice.” Collins, “What is tacit knowledge” from The practice turn in contemporary theory, Schatzki, Knorr-Cetina, von Savigny (Eds.), Routledge, 2000.

13. CCSC-NW 2009 Social learning Professional practitioners and teachers in the discipline have different contributory but overlapping interactional expertise. In Industry Fellows, we mutually socialize one another into our different practice communities. And, we each socialize students into our respective practice communities.

14. CCSC-NW 2009 Practitioners and higher-ed faculty inhabit different worlds

15. CCSC-NW 2009 … but we can bridge the gap
