Small Teaching and strategies to maximize student learning using small changes to instruction

Facilitator: Dr. Barbara Clarke, Coordinator, Organizational Development and Learning

The lessons/chapters in Small Bites for Small Teaching are derived from the book “Small Teaching” (2nd edition) (Lang, J., 2021). Other materials include resources from Bain’s “What the Best College Professors Do,” and Lang’s “Small Teaching Online” and “On Course," articles published in the Chronicle of Higher Education (COHE), and other instructional texts. The premise of this course is that small, incremental changes in your instruction can yield significant positive results for your students. The changes recommended do not require changes to your curriculum or significant pre-planning and administration.

Meetings occur biweekly from 2:00 - 2:45 p.m. via Teams or in Phillips (Building 3), room 3-125.
