More Details

You are invited to join a group of colleagues who will be reading and discussing the book Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning, by James M. Lang.  

The author’s website describes the book as follows:

“The book argues that we can look at a small set of principles from the learning sciences in order to create incremental—but very powerful—changes in how we help students learn.”  

The group will be facilitated by Barbara Draude and will meet three times:

  • March 19, March 26, April 2
  • 2-3 PM
  • LT&ITC, Library 348  

Each participant will be provided with a copy of the book in advance of the first meeting.  

Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible. 

If you have questions, contact Sheila Otto at Sheila.Otto@mtsu.edu.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.

If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
