Discussion Groups on “Small Teaching” Begin Monday

Just a reminder that faculty conversation on James M. Lang’s Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning begins next week. Faculty and educational program staff are invited to join us for either or both discussion sessions scheduled from 8 to 9 a.m., Monday, Feb. 20, and noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 21. We will be meeting in VMC 0076.

Topics covered are from Part I: Knowledge, which involves retrieving, predicting, and interleaving. In particular, we will consider what new knowledge we discovered in the first section of the book and how to apply that to our own pre-clinical and clinical instruction.

If you did not register for the book group but now have time to attend, please feel free to drop in. While we do not have additional copies of the books, several of us are willing to share our copies, and you can always order a digital copy (Kindle or Nook are currently available).

If you have questions, please contact Melinda Rhodes-DiSalvo, rhodes-disalvo.1@osu.edu.
