Lecturing Moves that Engage Students
Lecturing is one of many effective teaching approaches, and when designed with intention, it can powerfully support student learning. This session focuses on the teaching moves that make lectures engaging and effective. We will explore science-to-practice strategies for structuring lectures around big ideas, sparking curiosity and connection, and strengthening understanding through purposeful pause-and-process moments. You’ll leave with lecturing moves you can immediately apply disciplines and learning modalities.
Keeping Us Engaged
Student voices are often missing from conversations about student success. In this session, you'll hear directly from undergraduate and graduate students about what faculty can do to motivate and engage learners in both in-person and online courses. We'll connect their insights to research-backed strategies and help you build a practical action plan you can use immediately. From early actions to relationship-building and high-impact teaching practices, you'll leave with concreate tools to strengthen student engagement in any learning environment.
Designing Meaningful Assignments
Assignments sit at the center of student learning, yet we rarely have dedicated time to examine how assignment design shapes learning. This interactive workshop creates space to explore assignment design through a practical, research-informed lens. The focus will be on how to create innovative assignments that challenge students, sustain engagement, and promote deeper understanding through the intentional use of choice, clarity, structure, and support.
A Motivational Makeover for Your Syllabus
Discover what the research says about the purpose and power of the syllabus. You will leave this action-focused session ready to use your syllabus as a motivational tool. You will walk away inspired to make the most of this important document and will have several practical ideas about how to do so.
Providing High-Quality Feedback
Feedback is one of the most powerful ways to learn, yet students are not offered enough opportunities to benefit from feedback. During this workshop, we'll explore the value of feedback and several strategies to increase feedback opportunities for students while not overly taxing instructor time. Specifically, we'll discuss linked assignments, finding opportunities for verbal feedback, and strategies to increase the effectiveness of peer feedback.
Maximizing Learning via Group Work
Discover research-based strategies to promote in-depth learning via collaborative group work.. We’ll discuss issues such as self-selection versus assigned groups, ways to avoid social loafing and of course grading approaches. You will walk away with easy-to-implement group work strategies that will increase productivity and learning.
A Campus-Wide Approach to Supporting Student Career Development
Students enter colleges seeking to develop the knowledge, skills, and credentials needed to pursue or advance their careers, yet many students arrive unsure of career goals or the steps needed to enter their field of interest. Discover how collaborative and institutional-level approaches to career development can help students, especially those from historically marginalized communities, engage in career exploration and planning, build and expand professional networks, and develop essential skills needed to enter and succeed in a variety of careers. Leave inspired and ready to develop or enhance campus-wide efforts to support career development!
What I loved about Christine's presentation was that it was grounded in research but was also engaging and practical. It is not often you find all of this in a presenter!
Wow! This was a fantastic session. Dr. Harrington is an engaging presenter with tremendous expertise in teaching and learning! I learned so much.
I attend many conferences every year and this was by far the best session I have attended in years!
