Ten for Teaching: Facilitating effective classroom engagement and interactions (ASYNCHRONOUS)

Cooperative learning, wherein students are learning with and from one another, has been shown to support learning. Creating an interactive learning environment that supports all learners must be done intentionally though. In this workshop, we will talk about how to begin building that community, how to facilitate activities and create more engaging discussions, and how to use questions more strategically during class. Participants will also learn strategies for more effective group work as well as how to navigate classroom conflict.
By the end of the workshop, you should be able to:
-- Describe methods for building community among and with learners
-- Explain strategies for facilitating active learning in class
-- Identify approaches for effective classroom discussions
-- Use best practices around asking and answer questions
-- Identify strategies that support student learning in groups

Workshops in the Ten for Teaching series focus on essential classroom teaching skills. These workshops are aligned with the outcomes of the CTL’s Evidence-Based Teaching Certificate and support instructors in building the skills they need in order to earn the certificate.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This workshop will run for one week (Mon-Fri) and is designed for you to spend 20-40 minutes per day (slightly different each day) engaging with workshop content and activities. You will receive an invitation to the Canvas course a few days before the start of the workshop. All content will be available from the start so that you can work at your own pace.
