Capacity is limited to 25. - Thursday, Sept. 1 | Adopting Design Thinking for Systematic Innovation in Teaching
Join CIRTL's Alumni Network in the final session of a three-part brown bag series on teaching. This session focuses on adopting design thinking in your teaching to facilitate specific and actionable course design strategies that can help faculty avoid becoming overwhelmed and thus leading to burnout. Instead of focusing on personal strategies for dealing with chronic stress, this workshop delves into specific teaching strategies and course design steps faculty can use to make their teaching work for them and their students.
