Join the Inaugural Fall 2017 Book Club Learning Community
Join colleagues in a discussion of strategies that will help you be more efficient and effective in the classroom without overhauling your entire approach to teaching. In addition, participate in a Q/A video conference with the author, James M. Lang.
Sponsored by the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor, the Book Club Learning Community will explore the research-based strategies for improving student learning described in James Lang’s book Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning. Designed to connect primary research and the classroom environment, these strategies can be implemented by faculty in any discipline and integrated into pre-existing teaching techniques.
James M. Lang is a professor of English and the Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at Assumption College in Worcester, MA, where he teaches courses in British literature and in creative nonfiction writing. The author of five books, including Small Teaching and On Course: A Week- by-Week Guide to Your First Semester of College Teaching, Lang writes a monthly column for The Chronicle of Higher Education.
