Thursday General Session: Building Bridges: Connecting Research with Practice for Highly Effective Teaching
Session Description
Current education research highlights ways to provide effective, high-quality learning experiences for both students and instructors. Yet, we still need to bridge the gap between what the research tells us to do and what we actually do. In this interactive session, participants will review several research areas related to effective teaching. You’ll consider key ideas about how people learn, the knowledge and skills of highly effective teachers, and how to deepen your classroom practice to enhance student learning. Dr. Carlson will then introduce a model that illustrates the relationship between what you know and what you do as a teacher and how that relates to more equitable learning experiences for your students. By the end of this session, you’ll have reflected on the complexity of teaching, learned strategies on how to use research findings to refine your effectiveness with students of any age, and depart with ideas on how to lead from your classroom to encourage others.
