PAES Seminar in Teaching
What is it?
-
An opportunity for faculty with all levels of experience to talk with
colleagues about teaching, to share your own ideas and to learn what others
are doing
-
An opportunity to reflect on your teaching
-
A chance to read about some critical issues in teaching and to explore
practical solutions to your most pressing challenges.
Please join us for this series of discussions. Participants will each
receive a copy of McKeachie’s Teaching
Tips, which will be the primary text for the seminar, as well as some
additional resources.
The group will meet for four sessions to discuss selected chapters of the
book, exchange reflections and practices, and to apply ideas from the book to
their own courses. We will focus on
the following topics:
Session 1: Starting
with the Students (how students learn, who
students are, motivation, classroom management, etc.)
Sessions 2 & 3:
Teaching Methods for Active Learning (contextual teaching and learning, discussion, lecture, problem-based
learning, teaching with technology, etc.)
Session 4: Assessing
Student Learning (designing assignments,
authentic assessment, grading, etc.)
There are several date and time options – we’ll decide when these
sessions will be held based on when the majority of participants are available.
So, when you sign up, indicate all of the dates and times you
would be available to meet. Location will be announced when the dates are finalized.
Refreshments will be served.
