Event Description 

This workshop offers an introduction to teaching Quantitative Reasoning (QR) courses, which require teaching logic and analytical skills to students through the lens of course content. Participants in this workshop will consider how to use instructional scaffolding and the Socratic method to guide students through challenging content. We will also explore tools for thinking about feedback and assessment in QR courses, and engage with the scholarship of teaching and learning to reflect on our classroom spaces. Contact Nata Dudkina (nata.dudkina@yale.edu) or Lauren Saunders (lauren.saunders@yale.edu) with any questions.

Please note: Intermediate Teaching Workshops, which count toward the requirements for the Certificate of College Teaching Preparation (CCTP), do not presuppose any previous engagement with the topic, but will draw on topics mentioned in the Fundamentals of Teaching/the CIRTL MOOC. For a refresher on key pedagogical terms you may have encountered in the Fundamentals or the CIRTL MOOC, please refer to our glossary: tinyurl.com/PedagogicalGlossary.

This workshop will be held in person.
