February Virtual Cordes Chair Event
Marcia Imbeau
Join the Wally Cordes Teaching and Faculty Support Center for an informal conversation about teaching with the February Cordes Chairperson, Marcia Imbeau, from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 24.
The topic of discussion will be Promoting Student Voice by Creating Choice. As a rule, all of us are more motivated and interested in completing a task when we have some say in the work. So, what are some strategies we can use in our teaching that can give students a voice in their assignments? In this presentation, Imbeau will share a few instructional strategies she has used in her classes to generate choices for student assignments. There will be time at the end for you to ask questions and to share your best instructional strategies.
