  • 2/16 Critical Teaching Behaviors Book Club: Engage

    Critical Teaching Behaviors

    What does “good teaching” mean, and what does it look like? Perhaps you have grappled with this question, either to grow your teaching effectiveness or to assess the teaching of others. This book club is for you! 

    Engage students purposely to encourage active participation in the learning process

    Instructors who engage students purposefully select research-based techniques to ensure that students actively participate in the learning process and take responsibility for their intellectual development.

    In this session, we will discuss:

    • Communicating regularly, openly and transparently
    • Designing course activities to intentionally promote student-instructor, student-content, and student-student engagement
    • Using varied instructional methods to engage all students.
    • Fostering self-regulated learning
    • Relating course content to relevant examples and applications
    • Incorporating current research and promoting student participation in disciplinary research

     

    Join us to learn observable behaviors and strategies to identify concrete areas of strengths and need for improvement in course delivery and design.
