Provost Allen speaks on classroom practices at Faculty Teaching Forum Sept. 10
Provost Patrick Allen will lead a Faculty Teaching Forum titled “Classroom Practices: Three Paths to Better Teaching†from noon to 1:20 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 10, in Cap and Gown Room A (note different location than on academic calendar).
The session will review three “oldies, but goodies” in classroom practice: “Desirable Difficulties,” “Spacing” and “Metacognitive Monitoring,” and discuss how they can assist student learning. A recent Chronicle article suggests that they many not always be appropriate, so we will put our heads together and discuss when and where they work – and when they don’t. Inexperienced and experienced teachers invited!
To reserve a lunch, e-mail Jere Witherspoon (jwithers@georgefox.edu) by 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 8. Everyone is welcome to attend the session, whether bringing a lunch or reserving a lunch. Please have your lunch ready so we can begin the conversation at noon.
All faculty — full time, part time, and adjunct — are invited to attend Faculty Teaching Forums (FTFs). Video podcasts of FTFs will be available on iTunesU.
