About this Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>

A great first day of class–whether you are teaching in person or online, can set the stage for the entire semester. Your first interactions with your students matter. The first day and first week of class can really set the tone and help build community in your classes, which can help with group work, motivation, and a sense of belonging. This session explores ways to make a lasting first impression that sparks student interest and encourages them to learn from day one.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

About this Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>

This session will provide you with information regarding the intellectual and pedagogical value of classroom discussion, as well as useful strategies for integrating meaningful discussions into diverse instructional settings.

About this Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>

Research on learning strongly indicates that when students actively engage content\u2014by discussing, arguing, connecting, applying, evaluating, questioning, and integrating\u2014they learn more, and, most importantly, it sticks! You will leave this session with strategies for designing learning activities to make your face-to-face and online classroom an active, engaged, and effective learning environment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

About this Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>

When assessing learning, research shows that instructor feedback can significantly impact student learning outcomes so you need to be thoughtful and intentional about how, when, and how much feedback you provide your students. Feedback helps students feel motivated and confident about their learning experience. In this session, we will consider strategies and tools for providing effective feedback in both the face-to-face and online learning contexts.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
