Register for an interactive workshop on creating student connections! Also in this edition of the Weekly, you can read articles on improving student engagement and forming groups and participate in a CTE Mad Libs game.
Upcoming Seminars
Building Student Connections Through Arts + Design + Health
In this interactive workshop, attendees will gain strategies for using empathy to connect classroom learning with outside-the-classroom engagement and experiences.
Rules of Engagement for Building Classroom Connections
According to James Lang, distraction, not attention, is the norm. This may be even more true in the online classroom. Establishing "rules of engagement" (from the Chronicle) can transform students' approach to learning by focusing their attention and making them feel more connected to each other and the larger learning experience.
How to Form Groups for the Active Learning Class
Working in groups allows students to learn and practice their skills for exchanging feedback, questioning assumptions, evaluating different perspectives, and refining their understanding. In this Faculty Focus article, learn the four recognized ways to construct groups, and consider the advantages and disadvantages of each for your learning goals.
Ready for Some Fun?
The CTE Weekly staff have put on their thinking caps and poked their funny bones to come up with a special story just for you! Join us in a game of CTE Mad Libs in "The Best Semester Ever."
