Work Sprint

Do you need to set aside time to work on your research? Or do you have other work you need to complete? Perhaps completing a task for a research project, grading, recording/creating course content, reading? Would having some focused time to work on it help? Join a Work Sprint.

Faculty Book Club – Make It Stick

To most of us, learning something “the hard way” implies wasted time and effort. Good teaching, we believe, should be creatively tailored to the different learning styles of students and should use strategies that make learning easier. Make It Stick turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming more productive learners.

Active Learning Workshop

Join your colleagues in learning how to apply Active Learning techniques in your classroom. Three sessions will be offered with a focus on general active learning for any classroom, STEM classroom and Large Classroom focus. Active Learning techniques will be demonstrated during each session and those attending will receive an Active Learning Toolkit that contains several of the items used in the demonstrations so you can begin using the techniques in your classroom.
