Effective Teaching Workshop Series

This series will prepare participants to be reflective educators who use evidence-based teaching strategies. Participants will develop foundational knowledge of adult-learning principles and curriculum design, along with tools for promoting critical thinking. Specific approaches for engaging all learners while creating and supporting inclusiveness in small and large group settings will be explored. The interactive workshops will give participants opportunities to apply learning to their own teaching, with attention to cultural responsiveness and intersectionality in evolving environments.

Workshops are self-contained modules and are free of charge to everyone in the Buffalo Translational Consortium. Those who attend all workshops will receive a CTSI Certificate of Completion. Learners can also earn a digital badge upon completion of all workshops and weekly assignments if desired. Digital badges allow learners to showcase their enhanced knowledge of effective teaching within digital resumes, e-Portfolios, or LinkedIn accounts.

Dates: Thursdays, January 25 - February 22

Time: 4:00 - 5:30 PM
