Join Dr. Michael Prince as he leads participants through a hands-on session designed to introduce quick and simple active learning techniques that are effective, require little preparation or class time, and which generate little or no student resistance.
Participants will leave the workshop equipped to adopt inquiry-based teaching methods to promote students' understanding of critical concepts and share research-based strategies for reducing student resistance.
