TEACH Program : TEACH Lunch Series

Problem-Based Learning

mmeixner — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:55:00 GMT

The TEACH Lunch Series this week features Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and will be facilitated by Dr. Donna Davis and Dr. Debbie Laverie from Marketing. Both of these distinguished faculty members continue to successfully implement PBL in their classrooms and on Friday they will share more about that experience. I hope that you will all be able to come and learn more about how and why you could use PBL in your classrooms. To help provide you with some background information on PBL, check out the following resources for a brief overview.Problem-Based Learning (Center for Instructional Development and Research—University of Washington): The CIDR at the University of Washington provides an outline of PBL including why you should use it, how it works, how to get started, and what kind of classes it can be used in.

Pedagogy Resources—Problem-Based Learning (Teaching & Learning Center—University of Nevada, Las Vegas): The TLC at UNLV provides a more in depth look at a variety of topics related to PBL such as assessment, developing a PBL problem, finding PBL problems, etc.

TEACH Lunch Series: Are you having problems coming up with a TEACH project? Then don’t miss this week’s TEACH Lunch Series! Several of last year’s TEACH fellows will be there to talk to you about their TEACH project and what it takes to be successful in that endeavor. We’ll meet in room 153 from 12:00-1:00 and lunch will be served. Be sure to register online so we can get a head count for food.

Registration for your fall workshop hours was due last Friday. If you haven’t signed up for at least 10 hours, please be sure to go online and sign up for more classes!

Please set up an appointment with your consultants for your fall peer group consultation by Friday, September 19th. Remember that the observations don’t have to be done by Friday…just the final meeting date. If you have any questions, please let your consultant know!
