“Small” Teaching Innovations
An interactive workshop for Princeton teaching faculty
Thursday, March 7 from 12:00 - 1:20 p.m. in 330 Frist Campus Center
RSVP to reserve a seat.
Lunch will be served.

This interactive workshop will highlight small-scale changes to teaching practices that may deepen student learning. Participants will sample classroom exercises that draw from the literature on the science of learning, such as pondering and prediction, the one-minute thesis, and peer instruction (or review). We will also consider analytic and creative assignment types that extend and expand upon these exercises and the principle of “desirable difficulty.”

Facilitator:
Katherine Stanton, Senior Associate Director, McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning
