Pandemic Pedagogy: What Works Now and What We Can Keep Using Post-Covid

FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 2021 | 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM

A full year into the pandemic era, college educators who never expected to be teaching online are learning what works and what doesn’t in the virtual classroom. We’re also starting to reflect on what we’ll be taking with us when we return to traditional face-to-face teaching.

This interactive online workshop, offered by Jessamyn Neuhaus, Ph.D. a professor of U.S. history and popular culture at SUNY Plattsburgh and Interim Director of the Plattsburgh Center for Teaching Excellence, will energize your current day to day teaching, and give you practical, impactful teaching tools for the future. Through the lens of the five pedagogical practices—awareness, preparation, reflection, support and practice—we’ll explore some proven, sustainable techniques for strengthening your teaching and social presence in your classes; making your classes more resilient; creating a positive learning environment and class community; making course content accessible and inclusive; and effectively assessing authentic student learning. Visit the webpage for a detailed description and registration information.
