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:
- Articulate the benefits and requirements for incorporating active learning into an entire curriculum
- Select strategies that will aid the incorporation of active learning into their specific curriculum
- Identify specific challenges they may face and options for addressing them
