Small Teaching and strategies to maximize student learning using small changes to instruction
Facilitator: Dr. Barbara Clarke, Coordinator, Organizational Development and Learning
The lessons/chapters in Small Bites for Small Teaching are derived from the book 鈥淪mall Teaching鈥 (2nd edition) (Lang, J., 2021). Other materials include resources from Bain鈥檚 鈥淲hat the Best College Professors Do,鈥 and Lang鈥檚 鈥淪mall Teaching Online鈥 and 鈥淥n Course," articles published in the Chronicle of Higher Education (COHE), and other instructional texts. The premise of this course is that small, incremental changes in your instruction can yield significant positive results for your students. The changes recommended do not require changes to your curriculum or significant pre-planning and administration.
