[CCoE Notice] REMINDER: April 26: NSM Faculty Development Workshop

[Knudsen, Rachel W]

Engineering faculty are welcome to attend NSM Faculty Development workshops.


Sent on behalf of Donna Pattison, Ph.D.

Dear NSM Faculty:

An NSM Faculty Development Workshop is scheduled for Friday, April 26, from Noon – 1:15 pm in Roy G. Cullen Building, Room 104.  Light refreshments will be provided.  A flyer is attached.


Topic: “Creating Intellectually Stimulating Environments in Large Classrooms”

Presenter:
Dr. Diane O’Dowd
Vice Provost, Academic Personnel
HHMI Professor, Developmental and Cell Biology
University of California, Irvine

This talk will cover our attempts at creating intellectually stimulating environments in large classrooms. The strategies I will discuss can be employed in large classes, but they are equally useful in smaller classes where they are often just a bit easier to implement.  I will demonstrate some of the approaches we use, discuss some results of our education research, and end with what I spend a lot of time thinking about in my administrative role as Vice Provost of Academic Personnel, and that is about institutional changes that support innovative approaches to education in research universities.

I hope you will join us on April 26!

Donna Pattison
