Enhance Your Teaching to Impact Student Learning

Presenters

Members from the Centre for Learning and Teaching (CLT)

Description: If there is one thing you want to try or to change in your teaching, what would it be?Ìý Maybe there is an approach you want to incorporate to enhance student engagement, a new assessment you would like to design, or an idea for a learning activity that you want to create. ÌýSometimes just changing one thing can have a significant impact on students’ learning.Ìý

Join CLT staff for an interactive session to consider what your one change will be this year!Ìý We will begin with stories and practical insights from faculty who have made one change in their teaching. Participants will then discuss ideas they may have for their own upcoming courses in a collaborative environment, hear from others, and learn about the supports offered by the Centre for Learning and Teaching to assist in your teaching development now and throughout your career at Dalhousie.

The session will conclude with short discussions about three specific teaching and learning topics:

• Generative Artificial Intelligence
• Student Learning Experience Questionnaires (SLEQ)
• Brightspace Course Design

Health and Mental Health

Presenter

Jen Davis, Manager, Student Accessibility Centre

While faculty roles are often characterized as autonomous and flexible, once competing demands start coming in, it might not feel that way. The ability to nurture your well-being AND excel in your career is tricky business. This session will explore how new faculty can participate in, and find support for, their own health and wellness.
