Decoding the Disciplines is a process for increasing student learning by narrowing the gap between expert and novice thinking. Beginning with the identification of bottlenecks to learning in particular disciplines, it seeks to make explicit the tacit knowledge of experts and to help students master the mental actions they need for success in particular courses. Decoding is not complete without Disrupting, which focuses on the bottlenecks of colonialism, racism, identity, bias—the hidden curriculum or issues that disciplines do not address, that make people uncomfortable, or that the people tend to turn away from.
