Transitioning Back to the Classroom: Making the Most of In-Class Time
As we transition back to in-person instruction, it is time to evaluate which teaching strategies are worth taking with us and which ones will be best left behind. It’s also a time to remind ourselves how to teach in a classroom. In this session, we will critically examine what is worth keeping from our online teaching experiences of the past year and incorporate it into the classroom setting. We will also have a refresher on best practices for in-person teaching–it’s been a while!
