"Put learning as the focus as opposed to the teaching as a focus."
Ian Wolf on the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast #222
This fall's Book Club will be reading "Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Classroom Will Improve Student Learning" by Jose Bowen.
Monday Morning Mentor Series
Research shows that when students feel more represented in the classroom they perform better. Unfortunately the opposite is shown to be true, that when students feel under represented they perform worse. This poses a problem of how to make all students feel represented in a multicultural classroom? Instructor Kate Sweeney of Columbia University discusses Culturally Responsive Teaching Techniques Can I Use to Improve Learning in this week's edition of the MMMS. For information about how to access the article visit the CETL blackboard page.
