Terence Blanchard receives the Gutenberg Teaching Award from JGU Mainz for his extraordinary work as a musician, composer and, in particular, as a dedicated teacher and mentor. As a celebrated jazz trumpeter, opera and film composer, he has released over 20 albums and composed the music for more than 60 films. He has won several Grammy Awards and has twice been nominated for an Oscar for Best Film Score. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the center of his award, however, is Blanchard’s visionary role as an educator. He is considered one of the most influential jazz teachers of our time and has shaped institutions such as the Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz (formerly the Thelonious Monk Institute). Blanchard has taught at renowned universities such as the Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami and in 2023 took over as artistic director of SFJAZZ in San Francisco, an organization that reaches over 250,000 people a year with a wide range of educational programs and concerts. In his teaching, Blanchard emphasizes composition as a starting point for creative development. He promotes an experimental, equal learning environment in which every idea counts – regardless of origin or gender. For him, jazz education is a “laboratory” that should enable young people not only to play, but also to develop their own musical visions. He also embodies this attitude as a bandleader by constantly promoting young talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blanchard’s commitment to social justice also flows into his work as a teacher. He sees music as a means of enlightenment, dialog and encouragement. His work is an appeal to responsibility and humanity – and thus an outstanding example of the combination of artistic excellence and educational mission. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Terence Blanchard as an Inspiring Educator<\/strong><\/summary>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The master class, which lasted a good two hours, was aimed at both jazz students and teaching staff as well as students and teaching staff from all academic disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terence Blanchard\u2014with the support of students from the School of Music\u2014demonstrated how complex topics (such as jazz rhythms and compositional methods) can be conveyed in an accessible way to different audiences, both with and without a prior musical educational background, through vivid examples, collaborative creative processes, and discussions on an equal footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By repeatedly placing his work as a teacher in the context of his own teachers and mentors, he made it clear what a formative influence good teaching can have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Obama Institute for Transnational American Studies invited students and teaching staff from all departments to a face-to-face discussion with Terence Blanchard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, moderated by Dr. Sonja Georgi and Dr. Julia Velten, offered students in particular the opportunity to conduct surveys on a wide range of topics with Mr. Blanchard: from film music and the strategic planning of music albums to his political activism\u2014shaped by his experiences with the lack of government aid for the Black community in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina\u2014and his work to combat gun violence in the U.S. context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked for very simple, concrete tips for successful teaching, Mr. Blanchard replied succinctly: \u201cDon\u2019t lie, keep things in context, make the material relevant to students.\u201d He repeatedly emphasized the central role of dedicated teaching staff: Having grown up in a system where African Americans were often devalued, his teaching staff had been crucial to his personal development and professional career. Teaching staff have the power to have a lasting impact on their students\u2019 lives, especially in challenging environments. Figuratively speaking, they plant seeds. Whether these sprout immediately or only years later is unknown, but it is nonetheless important to keep sowing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In closing, Prof. Mita Banerjee warmly thanked Terence Blanchard for his inspiring insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Dr. h. c. John Hattie is awarded the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2023 by the GTC at the suggestion of the Faculty 02, in recognition of his more than 30 years of research in the fields of Educational Science and Educational Psychology. Among other things, John Hattie has conducted extensive programs of study and meta-studies on the effects of feedback on the learning success of learners of all ages, from elementary school to university. Essentially, his work and the programs of study inspired by his publications in various institutions and across a variety of disciplines have shown that teachers, with their skills in shaping relationships and communication, have a demonstrably substantial – and also clearly quantifiable – influence on learning success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Hattie has prepared these findings for academic teaching and school practice, for example in his work “Visible Learning for Teachers” (2013). John Hattie’s work is highly relevant for students on teacher education degree programs and provides impetus for university teaching. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Hattie is a professor at the University of Melbourne. He is an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM), appointed by Queen Elizabeth II, and holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Augsburg. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Mills Kelly<\/strong> is awarded the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2019 by the GTC at the suggestion of Faculty 07. This is in recognition of his special achievements in the field of didactic teaching methods. Prof. Kelly makes a special contribution to the further development of digital, university and historical teaching by not shying away from unconventional ways of integrating students into long-term projects between research and teaching, thus anchoring the grant of skills in the areas of data literacy in teaching. Mills Kelly is Professor of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia (USA), and focuses on European history, public history and digital methods in historical studies. He is also involved in various institutions, such as the “International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning” (ISSOTL) and the “Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History” (HistorySOTL). His current project on digital public history deals with the history of the Appalachian Trail. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n<\/jgu-base-heading>\n\n\n\n

On 18.06.2024<\/strong> Prof. Kelly offered a workshop on “Feedback in teaching” together with Dr. Andreas Frings (FB 07); you can find the invitation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Frings summarizes: “Feedback is an essential element of teaching and learning. When we as teachers think about feedback, we often only think about the comments and suggestions we make to our students about their work. When we take a broader look at what Education feedback is or can be, we open the door to innovative approaches to teaching and learning in all disciplines. In this workshop, the participants were first familiarized with an understanding of feedback, according to which feedback in the sense of appreciative, concrete and precise re-registration depends on a good diagnostic eye and ear. Only those who have a good understanding of the subject-specific thinking process are able to see and hear the progress (and also regression) in the development of subject-specific thinking in students and to react to this in a concrete way. With this in mind, the participants also discussed how feedback to students, among students and from students can be integrated into a course.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Carl Edwin Wieman, Stanford University USA, Professor of Physics and Professor of the Graduate School of Education, is being honored with the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2016 at the suggestion of Faculty 08. The Nobel laureate in the field of quantum optics has worked intensively on the teaching of natural sciences, technology and mathematics and has established new, scientifically based methods. In 2007, he founded the Carl Wieman Science Educational Initiative CWSEI at the University of British Columbia<\/a>, which – divided into different natural sciences areas – is concerned with the respective scientifically and subject didactics-based knowledge transfer and training of bachelor’s and teaching degree students. A variety of materials and instructions for teachers and students are provided in the form of writings, videos, internet resources and programs for modern media and teaching approaches, with a focus on methods of interactive teaching and self-activating learning. The PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder<\/a>, founded by Wieman in 2002, supports higher education institutions in the evidence-based development of concepts. The interactive online experiments are very stimulating for students and teaching staff in the experimental sciences. Wieman’s approaches are already widely used in the English-speaking world. JGU is looking forward to an exchange with Professor Wieman about his teaching approaches during the presentation of the Gutenberg Teaching Award and a guest stay at JGU. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Mills Kelly<\/strong> is awarded the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2019 by the GTC at the suggestion of Faculty 07. This is in recognition of his special achievements in the field of didactic teaching methods. Prof. Kelly makes a special contribution to the further development of digital, university and historical teaching by not shying away from unconventional ways of integrating students into long-term projects between research and teaching, thus anchoring the grant of skills in the areas of data literacy in teaching. Mills Kelly is Professor of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia (USA), and focuses on European history, public history and digital methods in historical studies. He is also involved in various institutions, such as the \"International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning\" (ISSOTL) and the \"Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History\" (HistorySOTL). His current project on digital public history deals with the history of the Appalachian Trail. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

On 18.06.2024<\/strong> Prof. Kelly offered a workshop on \"Feedback in teaching\" together with Dr. Andreas Frings (FB 07); you can find the invitation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Frings summarizes: \"Feedback is an essential element of teaching and learning. When we as teachers think about feedback, we often only think about the comments and suggestions we make to our students about their work. When we take a broader look at what Education feedback is or can be, we open the door to innovative approaches to teaching and learning in all disciplines. In this workshop, the participants were first familiarized with an understanding of feedback, according to which feedback in the sense of appreciative, concrete and precise re-registration depends on a good diagnostic eye and ear. Only those who have a good understanding of the subject-specific thinking process are able to see and hear the progress (and also regression) in the development of subject-specific thinking in students and to react to this in a concrete way. With this in mind, the participants also discussed how feedback to students, among students and from students can be integrated into a course.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Carl Edwin Wieman, Stanford University USA, Professor of Physics and Professor of the Graduate School of Education, is being honored with the Gutenberg Teaching Award 2016 at the suggestion of Faculty 08. The Nobel laureate in the field of quantum optics has worked intensively on the teaching of natural sciences, technology and mathematics and has established new, scientifically based methods. In 2007, he founded the Carl Wieman Science Educational Initiative CWSEI at the University of British Columbia<\/a>, which - divided into different natural sciences areas - is concerned with the respective scientifically and subject didactics-based knowledge transfer and training of bachelor's and teaching degree students. A variety of materials and instructions for teachers and students are provided in the form of writings, videos, internet resources and programs for modern media and teaching approaches, with a focus on methods of interactive teaching and self-activating learning. The PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder<\/a>, founded by Wieman in 2002, supports higher education institutions in the evidence-based development of concepts. The interactive online experiments are very stimulating for students and teaching staff in the experimental sciences. Wieman's approaches are already widely used in the English-speaking world. JGU is looking forward to an exchange with Professor Wieman about his teaching approaches during the presentation of the Gutenberg Teaching Award and a guest stay at JGU. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
