**Workshop - Slow Looking: The art of paying attention**

**Time:** 11:30AM – 12:30PM  
**Location:** TMEC 227

Slow looking is a powerful way to cultivate deeper understanding—an approach that asks us to look beyond a first impression and linger with what we see. Whether in classrooms, laboratories, museums, or digital spaces, this practice invites thoughtful observation as a pathway to richer insight. In this interactive workshop, Dr. Shari Tishman will guide participants through slow looking strategies and discuss how this learnable practice can enhance critical thinking, creativity, and social-emotional engagement in teaching, research, and professional life.

Shari Tishman is a Senior Research Associate and Principal Investigator at Harvard Project Zero, where she formerly served as Director. Her research focuses on the development and teaching of thinking, the role of close observation in learning, and learning in and through the arts. Along with Project Zero colleague Liz Dawes Duraisingh, Shari co-directs *The Open Canopy* project (formerly called *Out of Eden Learn*). Shari is the author of numerous books and articles, including the book, [***Slow Looking: The Art and Practice of Learning Through Observation***](https://pz.harvard.edu/resources/slow-looking-the-art-and-practice-of-learning-through-observation)***.*** Along with colleague David Perkins, she is also the co-host of the [**Thinkability**](https://pz.harvard.edu/resources/thinkability) podcast.

## PAST EVENTS (FALL 2025)

**Workshop - Curriculum in Motion: Confident Curriculum Redesign for the Next Wave of Tech**

**Date:** Wednesday, October 28, 2025  
**Time:** 11:30AM – 1:00PM  
**Location:** TMEC 227

[**Register Here**](https://hms.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6AkBn6FIxj6MFFQ)

Emerging tools—LLMs, adaptive quizzing, AR/VR and whatever’s next—keep shifting what’s possible in university teaching. This fast-paced, hands-on workshop gives you a clear, evidence-based way to decide what to adopt, what to defer, and how to redesign a syllabus element accordingly. We’ll lean on widely used frameworks and backward design to align tech to outcomes and assessment, then stress-test plans with learning-science essentials. You’ll leave with a one-page Tech Integration Blueprint, a draft course policy, and a peer-reviewed redesign you can ship next term.
