Post-traditional students make up a considerable percentage of our student body, and often have unique challenges to overcome as they pursue their bachelor’s degrees. Please attend this roundtable of faculty and staff who work with our post-trad population.  They will share their practices and processes, and will offer suggestions of specific strategies faculty can use to further support post-traditional students in their classes.

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.
