Description
How can we ensure that students begin their GV career with a strong start? The strong start Teaching institute focuses faculty attention on best practices for engaging students in first year undergraduate courses. Together, we will explore resources and examples around four themes:
- Clarity of academic expectations
- Fostering a sense of mattering (at GV and in our classrooms)
- Familiarity with available student resources
- Active learning strategies that promote student engagement, motivation, and achievement
Whether you are teaching a course for the first time or are looking to strengthen a course to beat engage students, we invite you to participate. Preference given to adjunct, affiliate and visiting faculty and first-time attendees.
