Starting Strong: Preparing For Day 1

Event Date & Time

Event Description

In-person

This event is part of the CTLT Summer Institute, taking place from August 19–22, 2024.

Want to start your semester off strong? In this interactive 60-minute workshop, we’ll reimagine the first day of class. Through group discussion and a mapping activity, you’ll create a plan to align day 1 student experiences with your course goals, content, and learning activities. Come prepared to share your experiences and tips, and to focus on a specific course you’ll be teaching.

By the end of the session, you will be able to:

• Collaboratively generate tips and ideas for starting the semester strong before the first day
• Clarify what you want students to gain on their first day
• Design a first day engagement plan that seamlessly aligns with your course goals, content and learning activities

Facilitators:

• Zoe Morris, Associate Director, Teaching & Learning Professional Development, CTLT
• Ainsley Camps, Educational Developer, CTLT
