Room Change for TCC Conversation


The Teaching & Creativity Center’s final conversation about the book Why Don’t Students Like School? A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions About How the Mind Works and What It Means for the Classroom will take place from noon to 12:50 p.m., Wednesday, May 4, in Room 11-313 – not in the TCC space, as first announced.

Michael Ofsowitz of the Psychology Department will facilitate the conversation, which will focus on the book’s final two chapters, “How Can I Help Slow Learners?” and “What About My Mind?”

The book is by Daniel T. Willingham, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. Willingham is well known for his column “Ask the Cognitive Scientist” in the American Educator.

All faculty and staff are invited to the event. RSVP by going to

Willingham will cap this series of conversations with an appearance at MCC on June 10. He will give a presentation on engaging students, followed by a free-flowing discussion of that and other teaching issues. RSVP to that event by following the same link.
