POCKET GUIDE ON EVIDENCE-BASED INSTRUCTION

The Pocket Guide on Evidence-Based Instruction is designed for faculty members to build a more comprehensive teaching toolbox.
 Each set addresses Active Learning Strategies, Classroom Assessment Techniques, Collaborative Learning Techniques, and Foundational Learning Concepts. Individual cards describes a specific instructional strategy, suggestions student buy-in, and references.

 

Suggested uses:

• Individual Use: Once per week look through the cards and identify a strategy to employ in a given class period.
• New Faculty Orientation: Give the card sets out during new faculty orientation and facilitate a conversation about e ective teaching and what best leads to student learning.
• Faculty Learning Communities: Form an FLC with a goal of working on teaching strategies throughout the academic year. Once per month faculty members in the FLC each identify a card and change her or his teaching based on the card selected over the next month. At the next meeting individuals discuss what was learned and then select a new card for the upcoming month.
• Department Meetings: Give the card sets to faculty members in your department. Set time aside during department meetings and use the card sets to encourage faculty to share implementation suggestions.
