Fostering effective class participation requires planning. Instructors can implement specific strategies to encourage meaningful, distributed participation through a variety of modalities. These strategies can address in-class participation issues, such as lack of participation or over-participation and others.
This workshop will cover strategies and best practices in how to:
- Elicit student participation
- Address difficult situations surrounding participation
- Encourage contribution from quiet students
- And other common challenges in the classroom.
This workshop may be counted toward the Achievement in Pedagogy badge, offered through the Graduate Student Teaching Initiative. For more information, visit the Achievement in Pedagogy Badge or contact tahelp@pitt.edu.
