Active Learning in Action
Thu 2/25 • 10AM - 11AM PST
Powell 186
Join us for a foundational pedagogical training on active learning, a tried-and-true approach to inclusively engaging students as agents in their learning. After reviewing the benefits and principles of active learning, we will explore classroom activities and active learning tools suitable for a range of disciplines, course sizes, and modalities. Following a demonstration of strategies such as in-class polling and think-pair-share, participants will complete an activity to discern active learning strategies suitable for their context and work to identify equity and accessibility considerations for classroom implementation. This workshop is part of the “Active Learning” and “Teaching for Impact” Pathway Discover tracks. This session is open to all instructors, TAs, and postdocs. Please contact instructorsupport@teaching.ucla.edu if you have any questions.
