Faculty Book Club begins Monday

Join us for a three-part faculty book club series, led by Becky Miller, professor,  psychology, 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 now and receive your copy of “Small Teaching” before the session dates.

Note: Faculty will receive one point for each session attended. Those who attend all three will be awarded an extra point (four total).
