With Learners Series
A NEW offering, which is part of the CTL’s new Students as Pedagogical Partners initiative. Interested in hearing from undergraduate students about what it’s like to learn in Columbia classrooms? These 90-minute sessions provide an opportunity to hear from undergraduate students about their experiences as learners, learn about evidence-based practices, and engage in conversations with students about teaching and learning. Following each session, faculty have the opportunity for an additional 30 minute consult with undergraduate students.
We are canceling the remaining in-person Students as Pedagogical Partners (SAPP) events. This includes the April 3 session on Inclusive Teaching and Learning and the April 24 session on Active Learning. Please look for resources on these topics developed by the SAPP consultants coming soon to this page.
