Covering Content is not Teaching It

By swcelt in Uncategorized

Thursday 10/17 and 11/7, 8:30-9:30 AM, Robert Plaster (RP) 125
Led by: Preston Cosgrove and Kate Robertson

This two-part workshop will help faculty plan a new lesson or modify an existing one. Part One will introduce Dr. Bob Marzano’s “design questions” with examples that faculty can address as they consider their teaching for a class, unit, etc.: How will I help introduce students to the content? How will I help them deepen their understanding of the content? How will I help them reflect or test their understanding? And how will I help them stay engaged throughout? In Part Two, faculty will come with a specific lesson in mind that they want to re-envision using those design questions. The workshop is designed to combine theory and practice to help faculty teach—not just cover—their content.  

Here are links to the handouts from the sessions.
