Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from Learning Science
Advertisement
Join McNeese Mathematical Sciences for a special Sip & Learn workshop featuring Dr. James M. Lang and lessons from his book “Small Teaching”.
Summary: Research from the learning sciences and from a variety of educational settings suggests that a small number of key principles can improve learning in almost any type of college or university course, from traditional lectures to flipped classrooms. Drawn from Jim’s bestselling book Small Teaching, these sessions introduce some of those principles, offer practical suggestions for how they might foster positive change in higher education teaching and learning, and guide faculty participants to consider how these principles might manifest themselves in their current and upcoming courses. Jim is currently working on updating the Small Teaching approach for the AI era, with new principles and dozens of new strategies, for a possible third edition of the book.
