Ten Ways to Actively Engage Your Students

Bridge the practical and the theoretical

We all want to help students learn. Decades of classic publications provide the foundation.

Yet educators also seek practical applications–the nuts and bolts of working with an educational strategy in the classroom.

Presenter Alice Cassidy, Ph.D., blends the theoretical with the practical, and explores it all in light of growing interest in active learning in this seminar.

She draws from her more than 20 years of teaching and facilitating to link examples of active engagement with their theoretical basis and demonstrate potential benefits to students.

This 60-minute seminar and supplemental materials, including over 50 web sources and examples from multiple disciplines, give you a large collection of searchable and linkable ideas you can start using in your next class.
