Tune Into Teaching: Lesson Design Clinic – Design Lessons to Foster Academic Resilience

Location: this session will be offered virtually (See MS Teams info available upon registration)

Facilitators:
Megan Burnett, Associate Director, CTSI
Michal Kasprzak, Assistant Director, CTSI/TATP

In this practical online session, participants will be introduced to a model of lesson design that presents a series of considerations that an instructor can use to structure any lesson in any discipline according to specific goals. Participants will identify possible learning activities that map to the different design considerations and specific attention will be paid to how to factor in academic resilience when designing a lesson – how can elements known to build resilience like metacognition, resourcefulness and self-efficacy be integrated in the plans for a specific class or series of classes? The bulk of the clinic will involve participants working individually to complete a lesson plan for a specific class – the very first class of an upcoming course – and through small-group discussion, they will receive feedback on their lesson plan from fellow participants and CTSI facilitators.
