Sometimes, active learning activities don’t play out the way we expect. Scholars of instructional development believe that practicing these approaches with colleagues can help us better prepare to use active learning with students. In this practice-basedactivity, you will have a chance to engage in an active learning rehearsal. The moderator will open by modeling an active learning strategy that he would like feedback on. Then, attendees will be broken up into small groups to participate in one another’s active learning activity, with the goal of providing feedback for how it went to the presenter.
This session will run for 60 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
