Thought Leadership Webinars

How can we redefine current grading systems to encourage innovate learning in our classrooms? Can we create a fair grading system that focuses on deeper, more application-based learning, that curbs rote learning? In this session Travice Baldwin Obas will facilitate discussions that will include ideas to encourage teachers to dive deeper into their courses and develop more of a coaching perspective with their assessment of student performance.

Your part-time teaching doesn't have to mean a part-time learning experience for your students. Join Rachelle Biderman, Instructor of Communication Studies at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo, Iowa. We'll discuss best practices in the classroom, ranging from creating community to innovative strategies to engage students while maximizing your valuable time.

This session will cover what a reflective student is and why that quality is a valuable trait to encourage. Liz Emmert of Kutztown University will review tools that are available to achieve this end and why she decided to use them. In addition, we’ll discuss strategies to achieve the flipped course model and how that also moves the student into the understanding and value of reflective thinking.
