Strategies for Facilitating Effective Discussions

Feb 8, 2023, 2:00 – 3:00 PM

Leading an effective class discussion depends on many variables and requires introspection, attention to the tendencies of students, and extensive preparation. There is no set formula for running a perfect discussion but there are helpful steps instructors can take when planning those discussions. Join us for this in-person session where we will explore some of these strategies and troubleshoot challenges that can arise during discussion-based activities.

How we begin during the first weeks of classes can have a lasting impact on the atmosphere of our courses for the duration of the semester. In this workshop, we will explore opportunities to immediately foster inclusivity and set the tone for an engaging and successful semester. Attendees will develop insights and learn practical tools for establishing and sustaining a welcoming classroom community for all students.

Sharing Strategies for Facilitating Community & Belonging

Aug 24, 2022, 12:00 – 1:00 PM

Facilitating community and belonging in our classrooms can go a long way in supporting students, but that process can often seem daunting and unclear. During this session, participants will explore strategies for building community and belonging as we feature the expertise and experiences of UK instructors during fall 2020 and spring 2021. Featuring data collected in a campus-wide study during these semesters, this session will also offer participants insight into UK’s student and instructional communities.
