Our conversation this week will focus on creating effective group projects in the classroom.  The article Group Projects Don't Need to be Miserable from Inside Higher Ed provides multiple suggestions for ways to help students prepare for group work and then implement their project.  The author relies on work from James Lang, whose work we have explored regularly in the Faculty Center.  This conversation supports the Collaboration focus area from the Faculty Center's "Teaching and Learning Focus Areas."

The Talking Teaching discussions are a space to connect and talk about what's new in the world of teaching and learning.  Each session will have a focus on a specific topic but can also be a space to talk about what is happening in the classroom and identify new modalities to explore.  This is our new iteration of the Teaching Breakfast. 

We will continue to meet both in person and virtually, so if you feel comfortable participating in person, we'd love to have you in the room; if you would rather meet via Teams, join from your computer.   These sessions will continue to be a place to come together to talk about teaching and hopefully share a few questions and get a few answers.

Join us in person in the Oneonta Room (just past the Experiential Learning Center on the first floor of Hunt Union) or virtually in the Talking Teaching teams space.

We look discussing ways to help your students be more confident with their own learning in your classroom.  We hope to see you on Thursday morning for Talking Teaching (October 12) if you can make it!
