New Brown Bag Discussion Series Announced for Spring
Submitted by Karen on January 3, 4:50pm
New for spring 2012, the Delta Program is pleased to announce Delta Discussions: Brown Bag Buzz. This biweekly lunchtime discussion group will be hosted by two current graduate students and Delta learning community members—Laura Chernak and Kelsey Watkins. Each session will feature a topic of interest in teaching and learning, such as discussion in the classroom, rural education, classroom assessment tools, and how to effectively train and use TAs. A suggested scholarly reading will be provided prior to each brown bag event to spark interest and help facilitate discussion. Laura and Kelsey will host the brown bag discussions in Union South (TITU) every other Wednesday during the spring semester from 12–1pm. The dates are Feb. 1, Feb. 15, Feb. 29, March 14, March 28, April 11, April 25, and May 9. Anyone and everyone interested in the scholarship of teaching and learning is encouraged to attend. Registration is not required but please join the brown bag listserv so you can receive date reminders and the session topics and readings in advance. The first Delta Discussions will take place on Feb. 1 and the topic will be "discussion in the classroom." The suggested reading is “Fostering Effective Classroom Discussions.” You might also check out the Art of Facilitating Discussion video from Harvard’s Bok Center for Teaching and Learning. If you have any specific questions about the new brown bag series, please e-mail info@delta.wisc.edu and again, be sure to join the brown bag listserv today.
