What Everyone should know about Teaching and Learning
In this talk, we will review practical, evidence-based strategies for organizing and designing your lessons and materials, explaining concepts at the level of your students (beginners, proficient, and experts), using relevant examples, checking for understanding (formative assessment versus summative assessment), and connecting with students (the power of feedback, motivation, active learning vs. passive learning) so that you can be more effective the next time you find yourself in a teaching position.
