Teaching large lecture courses comes with unique logistical and pedagogical challenges, especially when incorporating active learning and group work. Join us to learn learn concrete, no-cost strategies to streamline course management and support student engagement at scale. We’ll explore practical tools and techniques you can start using right away. Bring your device to experiment with approaches during the session and leave ready to apply them in your own course.

Light refreshments will be provided.

In order for our students to develop mastery, they need to spend time and effort engaged with the specific concept or skill. This idea is called Deliberate Practice (Ericsson et al., 1993), where the one doing is the one learning. The two essential components of this learning theory are the effort, i.e., “practice”, expended on activities that are specifically designed, i.e., “deliberate”, to result in mastery of a desired skill or concept. Just as a student will not master a musical instrument by watching their teacher play it, neither will a student gain mastery over fundamental concepts in our disciplines or acquire critical thinking/problem-solving skills by watching us demonstrate them in class. This workshop will use deliberate practice to engage participants in activities that model teaching with data to foster acquisition of graphing reading and interpretation skills. 
(This workshop is part of our Evidence-Based Teaching Institute and is open to all instructors for this semester.)

Lunch will be provided.

Want students to engage, wrestle with ideas, and use course concepts—rather than wait for the answer? In this interactive, one-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to design strong learning problems that push students to analyze, make decisions, and justify their reasoning. We’ll break down what makes a problem “good” for learning—clear outcomes, authentic constraints, the right amount of ambiguity, built-in opportunities for feedback, and prompts that require evidence, not opinions.

You’ll also see how AI can support the design work: brainstorming realistic contexts, generating multiple versions for different levels of challenge, identifying likely student misconceptions, creating support questions and checkpoints, and drafting rubrics that prioritize reasoning and process. You’ll leave with a one-page checklist you can use immediately to build or revise a learning problem—plus ready-to-use AI prompt starters aligned to each step of the checklist.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided.

How can career education strengthen student learning while supporting your course goals? Join the CLT and the Fleishman Center's Career Collaborative for a faculty panel discussion featuring instructors who have explicitly integrated career education into their courses in meaningful, discipline-aligned ways. Panelists will share their motivations, practical strategies, and indicators of success—highlighting how these approaches deepened student engagement, clarified the relevance of course content, and connected learning to students’ future goals.

Light snacks and beverages will be provided.
