Teaching Discovery Days
The College of Natural Sciences has held an annual Teaching Discovery Day since 2016 to showcase teaching excellence college-wide and encourage discussion among participants about best practices and new ideas in science education and learning.
The 2021 theme, Building a New Normal, merged virtual and face-to-face activities. Participants engaged in in-class observations, a poster session, teaching discussions and showcases, and closed out the day together with an outdoor reception.
Topics covered included:
- integrating research on teaching and learning
- effective use of technology in teaching
- engaging TAs, UGTAs, and learning assistants
- building supportive communities
- student-centered strategies
We look forward to celebrating teaching in 2022.
