Addressing Challenges in Teaching
Join the National Institute on Scientific Teaching for Addressing Challenges in Teaching (ACT), the third annual online small group learning event in the Solve My Problem (SMP) series. Participants will come together to address common challenges in undergraduate education such as academic supports for students, building meaningful groupwork, and exploring novel grading strategies. Educators at all stages of their academic career are welcome to join us as we meet new colleagues while we explore, reflect upon, learn, and deepen our teaching practices. The program will begin with an opening session on July 6th. Groups will then work together to schedule 5 to 6 meetings over the next 3 weeks to discuss the teaching challenge with the help of a group coordinator, develop strategies, and produce materials that will be useful to their own teaching practice. These products will be shared at the closing session on July 27th. Participants will also reconnect as a community at a January 2024 meeting to reflect on their implementation and future plans.
Questions? Contact us at communications@nisthub.org and include ACT in the subject line. Register by June 23 here.
