Please note: This workshop contains significant overlap with the ACT Active Learning workshop, so we recommend that you not attend if you have already received credit for the other workshop.

This workshop focuses on a piece of the third step of three-step backward design process: teaching methods.  This interactive session explores ways to structure in-class activities that will meet your learning outcomes for your students and offer them the support they need to succeed. By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• describe what active learning is and how it promotes metacognition and student learning
• select an active learning activity that aligns with a chosen learning goal and consider how to implement it in the classroom

Enrollment is limited; please register as soon as possible, but no later than January 12, 2026.

This is one of 5 required workshops for the Foundations of Teaching (FT) Program. Those who miss more than ten minutes of a session will not receive FT Program credit for that workshop.
