No matter how long you’ve been teaching, this transformational offering is for you! The Student Engagement Strand centers on active learning and community building in the classroom. The strand begins with an interactive investigation of how we learn and then uses that brain research as a foundation for workshops on active learning, community building, facilitating discussions, enhancing one’s presentation style, and reflection. Collaborate with your colleagues while building your toolkit for engaging your students in their education.
