Innovative Instruction Series: Intro to Transparent Teaching
2017-01-31 15:00 - 16:00 | West 223
The Innovative Instruction Series is designed to facilitate and support all ranks of faculty in creating learner-centered curriculum and pedagogy.
What is Transparent Teaching? Developed by Mary-Ann Winkelmes, Transparent Teaching focuses on the purpose, task, and evaluation for each assignment, lecture, and project. In other words, it makes course work and its purpose clear for all students, regardless of academic background. Dr. Winkelmes’ research has shown that first-generation and low-income students perform better in classes that use transparent teaching methods. This workshop will introduce core concepts of Transparent Teaching and how to incorporate them into your classes.
