Touro to Host Fall Faculty Development Workshop
The Touro College Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning is sponsoring a webinar, "Teaching Distracted Minds: Old Challenges, New Contexts," on October 30, from 10:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. ET for all faculty members. The keynote by James M. Lang, Ph.D., English professor and director of the D'Amour Center for Teaching Excellence at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts, will draw upon scholarship from history, neuroscience, and education to show that distractions are endemic to the human condition and can't be walled out of the physical classroom or online course. Participants will learn about a variety of strategies to create and develop experiences for students that cultivate and sustain attention. An interactive workshop on "Small Teaching in the COVID Era: From Minor Changes to Major Learning," will follow covering key principles that can improve learning in almost any type of college or university course, including both face-to-face and online courses and everything in between. Register for the webinar here.
