Developing Teaching Strategies to Successfully
Reach More Students More of the Time
Sponsored by the Center for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning, the Provost's Office and the NU Committee on Universal Course Design
·
Are you ever frustrated by the challenge of reaching the “hard to teach” students?
·
With the increasing diversity of the NU student body, would you like to increase your arsenal of teaching strategies to teach all students?
If so, you will want to attend this interactive
and innovative learning experience
The start of the new semester is the ideal time to gain new ideas and add new skills into your portfolio of teaching strategies. This hands-on educational session will support both novice and experienced teachers in improving student access to course content. It will provide both instruction on concepts and hands on practice of the application in your classroom.
