First Day of Class: Strategies for a Successful Term

Your course plan is mostly complete, the learning objectives and assessments decided, and now all that’s left to do is teach your course. After all that hard work, how can we ensure we make a good first impression and effectively communicate what we've put to paper? Should we: plan a full lecture, captivate students' interest, initiate some ice-breaker activities, read the syllabus out loud, let students leave early?

This webinar will look at questions like these and discuss how to create a positive first day of class. We will consider various strategies we can implement to build an engaging and supportive learning environment for students.

A Zoom link will be sent to registered participants the day before the webinar.
