There are a great many things lecturers can do in order to increase the effectiveness of their teaching and improve the student experience. 'How to Excel at Teaching in 1,317 Easy Steps' will focus on the most important of these practices. During the workshop, participants will have an opportunity to think through ways to address challenges they personally face in the classroom and to share strategies they have found to be successful.
The workshop is on March 4 from 3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. in Howard L. Hawks Hall, Room 111. Registration is required.
"Lecturers have an important role teaching our students at Nebraska," said Susan Swearer, director of faculty development for the executive vice chancellor's office and Willa Cather professor of educational psychology. "I'm excited to provide professional development programming specifically for them."
Presenters Steven Cain and Eric French, both instructional designers for the Center for Transformative Teaching who primarily support faculty in the College of Business will facilitate the workshop. Cain specializes in student-centered pedagogy, online instruction, and soliciting and using feedback from students. French specializes in high-enrollment teaching, leading effective class discussions, and training teaching assistants.
