Commonwealth Connections: Instructor Day
Join us for a half-day event focusing on strategies that will kickstart your semester. This event will feature an instructor panel and a student panel, followed by an open discussion. Topics of discussion for both panels will cover similar themes so you can hear both the faculty and student perspective. The day ends with a chance to connect with colleagues from across the Commonwealth in an open discussion to synthesize, reflect, and wrap up the day.
The panel discussions will include the following topics:
- Fostering a sense of community
- Coordinating effective group work
- Creating an inclusive classroom
- Encouraging academic integrity
