Are you interested in learning the basics of successful teaching?  Are you considering a career in education?    

An OITE workshop, “Scientists Teaching Science: An Introduction to Best Practices in Science Education,” will provide a basic introduction for anyone interested in understanding the basics of learning styles, teaching philosophies and course development.  If you interested in a career in education, this workshop is a required prerequisite for admission into a pedagogy course the OITE will offer this spring.  

Consider that people have a retention rate of…
5%       from listening to lectures
10%     from reading for information
20%     from audio-visual materials
30%     when a demonstration is added
50%     from discussing facts in groups
75%     from practicing by doing
90%     from teaching others at the same time they’re learning the information

SO WHY ONLY LECTURE??
The workshop will be offered to graduate students and postdoc fellows on November 7 from 2:30-4:30pm in Building 1 / Wilson Hall.  Sign-up to learn course preparation, common teaching methods, enhancing your teaching effectiveness, and MORE!  The course is taught by Barbara Houtz, a nationally-recognized master science teacher with over 12 years’ experience in teaching teachers.  The size of the class is limited – register only if you are sure that you will be able to attend.  Register Me
