Tired of blank stares from students? Struggling to find new ways to teach your content? Are you from a STEM or applied STEM discipline? If you have answered yes to these questions, consider applying for the STEM/Applied STEM Institute for Faculty: Course Redesign for Active & Collaborative Learning, sponsored by the Teaching & Creativity Center.
The Institute, hosted on MCC’s Brighton Campus during July 27-31, 2015, is a mix of interactive workshops and work time designed to help you learn about and implement active and collaborative learning techniques. With the help of MCC faculty coaches, you will learn new techniques, effective implementation strategies, solutions to common problems, and various assessment methods. During the Fall 2015 semester, we will form a Faculty Learning Community to continue sharing ideas and supporting each other through implementation. It is a great opportunity to rethink your course and collaborate with colleagues!
Please visit the TCC website for the Institute brochure and application form: https://web.monroecc.edu/TCC/stories/storyReader$65
(The application deadline is Friday, March 13, 2015 and this program is open to adjunct and full-time faculty members in a STEM or applied STEM discipline.)
Here are a few comments from last year’s participants:
"I just loved all the hands on approaches to EVERYTHING that we were learning.”
“The institute was very well put together and I highly recommend this to any colleagues interested in bettering themselves and making themselves stronger educators."
"I have been teaching this course for over 15 years, meeting the same challenges. This Institute has inspired me to think differently and refocus my teaching."
"The workshops were great and now I have a lot of tools that I can bring into the classroom. I have found new ways to make my course engaging and hopefully help my students become more successful.”
