The goal of this session is to offer some teaching strategies and tools that will

•foster student ownership of their own learning;

•facilitate student learning, retention of information, and academic success; and,

•create a culture of engagement and participation in the classroom.

These strategies can be useful in teaching difficult concepts as well as in managing the varied abilities and interest levels that one might encounter in any given section of a course. Some can be incorporated into the syllabus and in long-term planning; some can be adapted and used on the fly and/or to redirect a class session.
