Facilitating class discussions – even in large classes
Wednesday, March 30, 12:30 – 1:30
Online - see registration confirmation for link
Presenters: Tina Huey, CETL-Faculty Development
Join us for an hour of your day to connect with your colleagues. These sessions serve as a springboard for discussions around a topic related to teaching and learning but really give you the chance to share the success and challenges you are facing in our new teaching reality. Each session has a topical theme but is shaped by the participants’ discussion, needs, and interests. Teaching talks are not recorded.
The thematic focus for this particular session is facilitation of discussions. The format will be somewhat interactive. Topics will include:
- Connecting the dots in a discussion
- Pacing, movement, and signposts
- Approaches that support equitable engagement
- Using different modes and media to facilitate discussion
- Considering assessment of discussion contributions
- Frameworks for inquiry (e.g., dialogue, Socratic method, KWL)
- Navigating difficult moments
Interactivity level 3: moderate
Teaching talks are not recorded.
