Join Our Upcoming STEM Workshop: Active Learning and Data-Driven Assessment
This workshop explores strategies for integrating the thinking classroom framework into the college STEM classroom. The thinking classroom framework is based on decades of published research and popularized in the book Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter LilJedahl. In this workshop, you will develop active learning strategies that promote collaboration among students and truly get students engaged and thinking deeply about the course material. Additionally, you will learn about alternative assessment practices that encourage students to take risks, and develop a growth mindset about their education.
