Teaching, Learning & Assessment Across Disciplines: ICE Stories is the end product of a collaboration of generous post-secondary educators whose practices have been influenced by the ICE model. Each author contributed a chapter based on their own conceptualization of the model and the ways they’ve used it in their classrooms. They begin by setting the context, either conceptual or instructional, in ways that are likely to resonate with readers’ own teaching and learning experiences. Authors share practical details of their instructional and assessment strategies and the ways that the ICE model has shaped their and their students’ thinking and learning.

This volume isn’t merely a compilation of cases. It represents a process of mutually supportive reciprocal review that the contributors adopted that saw them meet regularly over time to discuss one another’s conceptions of ICE, adaptations, and applications. They read one another’s chapters, provided peer-to-peer feedback, and learned from one another. Throughout the process, they served as generous, caring, critical friends, forming a community of inquiry.

We acknowledge and appreciate the thoughtful insights provided by the anonymous peer reviewers who shared their time and expertise. Your support was invaluable.
