  • 4/25 The Actor's Tools & How They Enhance Your Teaching

    You are invited to participate in a series of informal teaching talks throughout 2017.  These are opportunities for participants to comfortably share teaching concerns and discuss techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff.  All sessions will take place in Rowe 319.  All UConn instructors —graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.

    Attend all the sessions or choose only those covering the topics that most interest you. 

    Contact Suzanne LaFleur if you have questions or would like more information.


    Tuesday, April 25  1:30 – 2:45              The Actor's Tools & How They Can Enhance Your Teaching

    What can actors teach us about our “role” as teacher?  We will discuss actor's tools such as using your voice to maximum effect, body language, animation and enthusiasm, remaining fully attentive to what is happening with your "audience," "playing to your audience," and other acting techniques which can make your presentations more effective and engaging.
