Professional Learning Opportunities

Faculty Learning Community

This four-part series will engage faculty in a virtual conversation exploring 8 research-based strategies for “smart teaching” based on a new book, How Learning Works (2nd edition). We promise these strategies are ones you will return to again and again throughout the term, covering research and teaching tips on essential topics from student motivation to giving practice and feedback to developing more self-directed learning.
