Discussion Groups
Thursday, August 21
2:00 - 2:45 p.m.

 

Each discussion group will consist of 10 – 12 individuals and have the same goal: to use a discussion/brain-storming/focus-group format to focus on two issues:
(1) How can faculty apply ingenuity, informed by data, to improve student learning? and (2) What additional information should be garnered to inform discussion of these issues?

You are asked to register so that the size and disciplinary mix of groups may be regulated and locations be determined. A note-taker will be designated for each group and will compile a summary of the group’s recommendations and questions.

Participants are invited to think in advance about steps they’ve recently taken to improve student learning—books used, approaches taken, etc.

 

Summary and Discussion
Led by Charlie Blaich
3:10 - 4:00 PM

Following a twenty-five minute refreshment break, Charlie Blaich will identify ideas, themes, and concerns common to a significant number of groups and moderate the resulting conversation.

You can register for the discussion groups online when you register for the entire PCC.
