Curriculum Redesign to Incorporate Active Learning
Date & Time
Sunday, June 9, 2019, 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Description
This session focuses on the processes and structures for helping faculty charged with incorporating active learning into a 4-year curriculum. Strategies used to plan, implement, and assess the active learning initiative will be explored. Approaches to including faculty in decision-making and promoting faculty freedom in determining which specific active learning techniques to use will also be discussed. The conversation will be organized around a reflective template for individuals to use periodically throughout the session to capture their thoughts and identify applications appropriate for their own situations.  Our strategies and experiences (Goldman & Mintz, 2015) will be shared, contributions from those present will be encouraged, participants will be asked about their concerns, and reflective time will be provided for self-assessment and identification of ideas to move the participant's curricula forward. 
 
Session Objectives:
  1. Articulate the benefits and requirements for incorporating active learning into an entire curriculum
  2. Select strategies that will aid the incorporation of active learning into their specific curriculum
  3. Identify specific challenges they may face and options for addressing them
