When students are more engaged, they involve themselves with course material at a personal level. They also take more responsibility for their own learning, creating a reinvigorated, more passionate classroom environment. During this workshop, Dr. Joy Mighty will lead attendees through thought-provoking activities designed to reveal engaging teaching practices. The seminar will cover: the relationship of student engagement to success, fresh ideas for engaging millennial students, overcoming barriers to greater student engagement, engaging students from freshman through senior year, experiential learning opportunities, using “real life” examples in class, the role of prompt feedback, using multimedia technologies in classes, and peer-to-peer learning exercises. Dr. Mighty will answer questions from participants during the seminar. Participants will identify more effective teaching practices for their own individual classes and come away with a targeted action plan ready for implementation.
