View Session Recording  

This workshop sets the foundation for efficient and effective teaching by establishing a starting point from which instructors can begin developing teaching materials. So you can begin developing your own pedagogical framework, participants will be introduced to backwards course design and will gain hands-on experience with setting learning goals. Throughout, we will highlight ways to make your teaching inclusive and to actively engage students to improve their learning outcomes.
