This section is full of timely and evidence-based practices to apply in your teaching.

This week's teaching tip features the next video in our "What's Working" series by UNCG instructors, for UNCG instructors. Each video will be under 5 minutes and will feature tips you can immediately implement in your classroom.
This week's video shares the "skills and drills" practice strategy that senior lecturer of Biology, Dr. Elizabeth Tomlin, developed for her students based on student requests and interest. To learn more about co-creating learning resources with your students, we recommend Co-creating with students: Practical considerations and approaches and Co-creating rubrics with students.
If you have a video tip you would like to share, please contact Amy Brown at albro25@uncg.edu.
