Foundations of Teaching: Active Learning

About this event

This workshop focuses on a piece of the third step of three-step backward design process: teaching methods. This interactive session explores ways to structure in-class activities that will meet your learning outcomes for your students and offer them the support they need to succeed. By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• describe what active learning is and how it promotes metacognition and student learning

• select an active learning activity that aligns with a chosen learning goal and consider how to implement it in the classroom

This is one of 5 required workshops for the Foundations of Teaching (FT) Program . Those who miss more than ten minutes of a session will not receive FT Program credit for that workshop.
