Working remotely and collaboratively, our interdisciplinary team created an educational
development workshop, Thinking Skills for the 21st Century: Teaching for Transfer, in which
participants not only experience, apply, and reflect on teaching across educational settings but
also connect this work to principles that have been demonstrated by learning science to support
the transfer of knowledge. We used backward design to develop the workshop and evidence-based
pedagogies in its implementation. We facilitated the workshop at two different national
meetings for distinct audiences and also as part of an on-campus faculty development program.
Here, we report on the workshop development and revision, assessment of participant
experience, and the evolution of our collaborative process.
