October 14th Session



BC faulty met on October 14th to develop and practice skills related to The Learning Centered Classroom.

Learning Centered classrooms:

place more responsibility on students for active learning,

emphasize the importance of supervised small group work,

engage students in practical learning,

encourage habitual reflection on the part of both students and faulty, and

enrich classrooms beyond just "PowerPoint and lecture."

The session itself modeled the LCC as faulty members wrote short reflections, communicated instant feedback through digital polls, worked in small groups, and actively pursued information about the topic in order to make connections with their own classrooms.
