Spend this Friday morning, February 26 at DCC networking with colleagues to explore practical ways to help our students fix what ails them: test-taking, studying, or working with others. This TCC professional development workshop will begin with a hands-on opportunity to incorporate building community into your classroom. Choose one workshop to attend after the light breakfast and opening session, then stay for a complimentary lunch if you like.
Registration is still open for all teaching faculty and professional staff!
8:45-9:00 a.m. Check-in
9:00-10:00 a.m. Building Classroom Community (opening session)
10:15-11:45 a.m. Workshops
A. Dress Rehearsal: Instilling Better Study Habits
We know that how students prepare for your class, what they do during your class, and what they do following your class all impact their success. In this workshop, explore quick methods you can apply to help students learn how to be more successful.
B. Apples and Oranges: Facilitating Effective Teams
Both casual and sophisticated teamwork take intention and effort from both the professor and the students. In this workshop, consider how you can invite more effective collaboration in your course so every student has the opportunity to gain the rewards of deeper learning through teamwork.
C. Jumping the Hurdles: Success Before, During, and After the Test
Although students arrive on the college doorstep with more extensive test-taking experience than ever before, it's clear that practice doesn't make perfect. In this workshop, reflect on how you can apply some practical strategies to help students learn how to enhance their test-taking by considering the test as part of a process rather than the end of a unit or course.
