SUMMARY:Wicked Problems in Teaching: Focus and cognitive overload (In-person)
DESCRIPTION:Wicked Problems in Teaching: A Faculty Conversation Series\nComplex challenges. Practical strategies. Shared inquiry. \nSome teaching challenges are just plain wicked — they have no single cause\, no universal solution\, and they show up over and over in our classes. Think: student focus\, cell phones\, uneven preparedness\, pedagogical burnout\, and everything in between.\nThis series creates an honest\, grounded space for faculty to explore these wicked problems together. \nTo learn more about this 5-part series\, CLICK HERE! \nSESSION TWO: Focus and cognitive overload\nWhat happens when students are trying to learn in a state of constant cognitive overload? We’ll take a closer look at what attention\, working memory\, and “focus” actually involve — and why they’re so fragile right now. Faculty will share strategies that reduce overwhelm and improve engagement\, then build inquiry questions about what really helps students focus and retain learning. \nTuesday\, February 17th | 3:00pm-4:30pm | Fernald Hall\, Room 102 \nREGISTER HERE

As a group we will also plan for a capstone session after the semester for closure and final drafting. Whether new or experienced in SoTL\, this circle offers the structure\, community\, and momentum needed to move your project forward. \n\n\nWeekly on Fridays from 12:00pm – 1:00pm | Fernald Hall\, Room 102\n\nLEARN MORE & REGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Using Writing to Help Students Learn (In-Person)
DESCRIPTION:Using Writing to Help Students Learn\nWe’ve known for half a century that writing is an important mode for learning.

In this workshop\, we’ll design short\, easily assessable writing-to-learn (WTL) activities\nfor use in your classroom to help students think about the course content and reflect on learning.\nWTL is a great approach for large-enrollment courses\, as well as those that take place early in\nthe curriculum. \nThis workshop will be co-facilitated by by Heather Falconer\, an Associate Professor in English and specialist in Writing Across the Curriculum. \nIn-person Workshop in Fernald Hall\, Room 102 \nWednesday\, October 22nd | 2:00pm – 3:00pm \n(This workshop has been canceled due to low registration)
