Faculty book Club Meets Today

Join us today from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in Menard Hall, Room 2202, for the final meeting in this semester’s three-part faculty book club series centered on “Small Teaching” by James Lang, a transformative guide offering practical, research-based strategies for enhancing classroom instruction. We will explore how small, targeted changes in teaching practices can lead to significant improvements in student learning. Each session will provide a collaborative space for faculty members to discuss and apply these insights to their own teaching. Engage with your peers, share experiences, and discover actionable strategies that can be immediately integrated into your courses. All participants will receive a free copy of “Small Teaching.” Register for the book club online.

The book club is led by Rebecca Miller, professor, psychology.
