Overview

PETAL encourages UM faculty to explore their teaching and student learning goals by offering a series of workshops that attend to specific topics as they are relevant. Workshops provide opportunities for faculty to learn new practices, create networks of cross-departmental colleagues, engage in conversations, and reflect on innovative methods for teaching and learning. 

Join a Lunch & Learn on Active Learning

 

Make Your Classroom More Active, Engaging, and Student-Centered!

 

Join PETAL for a Lunch & Learn: Active Learning session for practical, interactive conversations about strategies that engage students and get them actively involved in their learning.

While this is designed with new faculty in mind, all faculty are welcome. Come connect with colleagues, exchange ideas, and discover practical ways to make learning more active. 

Choose from one of our Active Learning Lunch & Learn session dates: 

Wednesday, September 23, 12:20–2:20 p.m.

Thursday, October 22, 12:20–2:20 p.m.

Tuesday, November 10, 12:20–2:20 p.m.

Lunch will be provided! 

In each session, we’ll explore active learning approaches that can be adapted to different disciplines, courses, and classroom settings. Each session will provide opportunities to experience, discuss, and reflect on strategies you can take directly into your classroom.

 
Facilitated by Nadia Gal, PETAL Faculty Fellow
