Fall Book Discussion: How Learning Works (Encore!) √ §
7 Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching
Ever wonder why students have such trouble with concepts that seem so straightforward to you? Or why some students just don’t understand what you’re asking of them, no matter how clear your instructions? Or why students have such trouble putting ideas or skills together? Join us this fall for an encore discussion of the book, How Learning Works: 7 Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching by Ambrose, et al, Jossey-Bass, 2010 (first discussion was fall, 2010). Each participant will receive a copy of the book ahead of time. Lunch will be provided.
From the publisher: “Drawing upon new research in psychology, education, and cognitive science, the authors have demystified a complex topic into clear explanations of seven powerful learning principles. Full of great ideas and practical suggestions, all based on solid research evidence, this book is essential reading for instructors at all levels who wish to improve their students' learning."√ Program counts toward the ALIT certificate
