The University Center for Teaching and Learning will hold a discussion in January on “Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning” (Second Edition) by James M. Lang.

The discussion — from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Jan. 22 — will explore practical, research-based strategies for enhancing student learning through targeted, intentional changes to teaching practices. Come prepared to discuss what resonated, what challenged you, and how to might adapt Lang's ideas for your own courses. 

The event will be held online and in-person, but only 20 seats are available at 815 Alumni Hall. The first 10 people who register will get a complimentary copy of the book. Register through the Universite Calendar.

Once the early registration tickets become unavailable, continue by selecting the general registration option. Participants choosing this ticket will receive full access to the session — either through a virtual ticket or one of the 20 in-person seats — but will need to obtain their own copy of the book.

The University Library System has an electronic copy of “Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning,” you can can read or download here.
