In this hands-on, collaborative workshop, participants will learn about the backwards design theory of lesson planning and will have the opportunity to collaboratively review and discuss a sample STEM or sample Humanities lesson plan to reflect on the features of effective lesson plans. Instructors will practice generating a clear learning outcome, assessment, and class activity based on their current teaching appointment and with their current students in mind. Participants will leave the session with an outline that may serve as the foundation for a lesson plan they will use during the semester.

PCL Learning Lab 1A/1B
  This workshop will focus on strategies for engaging students in hands on learning activities that do not involve the use of technology in the classroom.  We will explore how writing by hand, drawing, and interactive student discussions can promote critical thinking and develop writing skills more effectively than methods that rely on A.I. and other technological tools.  These tactile approaches will also describe how “hard” texts can be used in the classroom, both in terms of difficult texts and hard copies of assigned books.  What happens when we take away our students’ gadgets and turn off the instructors’ screens?  Come join us to find out!
