Teaching & Learning Certificate Program, Colloquium #1
1:30-4:00 p.m., Thursday, August 22, 2019, Beard 200
Adam Persky, PhD, Faculty Fellow, CIPhER
The Center for Innovative Pharmacy Education and Research (CIPhER) is excited to welcome you to the TLC Program!
In health science we transition between bench-top research and clinical research and practice and vice-versa; we ask ourselves and our students to practice evidence-based medicine. We are asking ourselves to do the same for education – to translate what we know from cognitive psychology, education, and physiology into our classrooms. There is a great deal of research pertaining to what works and what does not work with respect to student learning. In this session, the facilitator will translate research from a variety of areas into practical application to set the foundation for further learning about teaching and education. At the conclusion of this session you will have a better understanding of why things like the flipped classroom work and to design courses with key elements.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the requirements of the TLC program
