An engaging, interactive, and reflective session for new (first-year) graduate students to set goals for their first semester and year in graduate school.

“Facilitating Effective Labs” aims to equip lab instructors with tools to lead an engaging and collaborative lab session that still gives students time to complete the required activities. We will explore strategies for setting lab expectations, giving helpful pre- and post-lab talks, and asking questions that promote discovery and observation.

Discussion can be an effective classroom tool to reach a variety of course goals. "Facilitating Effective Discussions" aims to equip instructors with tools to encourage and maintain classroom engagement for all students while meeting course goals.

In this hands-on, collaborative workshop, participants will learn about the backwards design theory of lesson planning and will have the opportunity to collaboratively review and discuss a sample STEM or sample Humanities lesson plan to reflect on the features of effective lesson plans. Instructors will practice generating a clear learning outcome, assessment, and class activity based on their current teaching appointment and with their current students in mind. Participants will leave the session with an outline that may serve as the foundation for a lesson plan they will use during the semester.
