Have you wondered how you can utilize group work more effectively in your course? This workshop will provide you with one method for engaging students in group work throughout the semester. Learning Teams are small groups of students that work together over the course of the semester to learn, process, and apply the course content. Strategies will be presented to help you set-up and coordinate Learning Teams, set a focus for Learning Team sessions, and hold students accountable through assignments and instructor monitoring.

Local Issues Coffee Hour - Health Care Needs and Service in the High Country

Thursday, November 17, 2022 - 8:30am to 9:30am
Anne Belk Hall Room 222 (CETLSS)

Local Issue Coffee Hours are an opportunity for faculty and nonprofit community partners to come together in a relaxed environment to consider future collaborations. Topics are typically focused on a single issue such as affordable housing, the needs of the elderly, nutrition needs among area youth, etc. The agenda is light and the mood is informal but the hope is that, as smart people gather in the same room, they'll form new ideas and productive partnerships.
