Lunch & Conversation With Jim Lang, Small Teaching for College Reading and Learning
Description:
The learning principles outlined in Small Teaching represent core cognitive activities that should help learners succeed in a variety of areas, but some may be more helpful than others in the specific work that learning professionals do with their students, such as one-on-one tutoring or mentoring. In this conversation, we’ll consider which of the Small Teaching principles have proven most effective for working with students in academic support or tutoring contexts, and how we can best put those principles in practice in such environments. Participants should come prepared to share their best small teaching practices with one another and the group.
