Leveling Up with Active Learning
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
In September 2019, a study conducted at Harvard University was published. It focused on the response of students to different instructional approaches – specifically passive lecturing versus active learning. Based on prior research, the authors believed that students would learn more in active learning environments but they wanted to understand why so many students and faculty remain hesitant to switch to active learning. This Sparkshop workshop will discuss some of the findings of that study and offer several ideas and examples of ways to incorporate active learning strategies in a variety of classroom settings. It will also focus on group learning and how to facilitate dialogue, connection, exploration, and understanding among and between students.
Contra Power Dynamics; Crafting a Toolbox
Workshop/Training | Sparkshops
Participants of this Spark Shop will describe and discuss contra power dynamics in the classroom. Then, they will work together to craft a resource toolkit and further discuss how to best show up for each other when contra power harassment or bias incidents occur.
