Learning Lounge @ Lunch: Introducing Students to "New" Kinds of Reading (HYBRID)

Do students in your classes have difficulty navigating academic/authentic texts in your field? Then join us for lunch and a conversation with Preston Christensen, J.D. (Department of Construction Management), in which he will share how he teaches students to read complex written work like state laws and contracts in his field. Importantly, he will also discuss how taking the time to help students navigate these new (to them) texts helps support their learning and success in the course. Participants will have a chance to reflect on the kinds of reading they ask students to do in their classes, and how they can apply approaches that Christensen utilizes.

A selection of sandwiches and salads will be available for those attending this session in person. We will have dairy and gluten free options available, as well as vegetarian/vegan food. If you have a dietary need outside of that, please let us know at least a week ahead of the session. You are also welcome to bring your own lunch/snack!

This is a hybrid event, offered both in person and online. Please note the address if you plan to attend in person, and the Zoom link if you plan to attend virtually. After registering for a hybrid workshop, you will have the option to add the event, which includes the Zoom link for the workshop, to your Google calendar. Also, you will receive a confirmation email of your registration that also includes the workshop link.
