James M. Lang, Professor of English and the Director of the Center for Teaching Excellence at Assumption College, will discuss his book Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning.
Research from the learning sciences and from a variety of educational settings suggests that a small number of key principles can improve learning in almost any type of college or university course, from traditional lectures to flipped classrooms. This workshop will introduce some of those principles, offer practical suggestions for how they might foster positive change in higher education teaching and learning, and guide faculty participants to consider how these principles might manifest themselves in their current and upcoming courses.
