Small Teaching
Have you ever wondered about how to help students in your classes learn better? Perhaps you would like to make changes to your course design or teaching methods, but you have been overwhelmed by the time or knowledge required? Small Teaching by James Lang bridges the gap between research and practice by providing specific strategies, including brief (5-10 minute) activities designed to improve student learning. Small teaching techniques, based on research from the science of learning, include one-time interventions as well as small modifications in course design or in communication with students. This FLC will provide support and feedback to faculty who want to make small changes that can have significant impact on student learning.
