Time Commitment

It is mandatory to attend all 3 days, to receive a certificate of participation.

 

Workshop delivery

During the workshop, each participant will conduct 2, 10-minute lessons in small groups of 4 or 5 people each, receiving oral, written, and visual feedback on their instruction.  

  • Please prepare in advance a 10-minute lesson to deliver on the first day. You may choose any topic that interests you. There is also some preparation required after the first and second days. You will present 10-minute lessons on two days of the workshop, building upon your skills each day. Again, you may choose any topic, keeping in mind that this is an opportunity to try new teaching approaches not traditionally used in your academic discipline.  
  • Your 10 min lesson will be recorded, and the recording will be shared with you. No one else will have access to your video lesson.  
  • This intensive workshop is designed to improve your teaching skills whether you are an experienced or novice instructor. Participants are encouraged to use a variety of participatory instructional techniques and technological aids.
