NSBP - Hampton University April 5, 2014 REGISTRATION

Increasing Student Learning Using Active Engagement Teaching Strategies
Saturday, April 5, 2014, 9-2 pm (please respond, lunch will be provided), Hampton University Physics Department, Hampton, VA

Are you looking for ready-to-implement teaching strategies to improve your students learning? Students taking physics courses struggle with how to attain expertise in problem solving, how to overcome their long-held misconceptions, and know how to study most effectively. Join us Saturday, April 3, for an interactive college teaching excellence workshop and luncheon funded by NASA in partnership with the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP), Hampton University (VA) and the University of Wyoming. Presented by award winning professors and physics education researchers, Drs. Tim and Stephanie Slater from the CAPER Center for Physics & Astronomy Education Research will share insider secrets on how faculty can increase students’ intellectual engagement and improve their exam performance in first-year physics courses. Strategies covered include which questions posed during class best capture students’ attention, how to perform demonstrations students remember and apply, and when to redesign and refocus a syllabus that simultaneously supports student learning and reduces stress on faculty with heavy teaching loads. Join our community to improve student learning!
