Past Events

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.

As a graduate student, you assume many roles: teacher, instructor, as well as student. In this workshop, you will learn about and apply theories of self-directed learning to students and one’s own achievement, as well as gain strategies about setting expectations and working effectively with students and faculty.
