Description
Get an overview of key lesson-planning topics – like backwards design, learning objectives, assessment, and more – in this one-part online workshop designed for grad students and postdocs who have had some teaching or TAing experience. Participants will discuss concepts from Universal Design for Learning and emphasize the use of frequent formative feedback as an equitable way to promote learning. An explicit goal of this workshop is to help future faculty feel more empowered and confident in their own pedagogical decision-making. By the end of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:
  • Identify several “big ideas” in their disciplines (core concepts/skills).
  • Align learning objectives, assessments, and learning activities for a single class session based on the big idea they selected.
