Description
Please join us for one or both sessions with Elizabeth Barkley, best known for her work in collaborative learning and student engagement techniques. Elizabeth Barkley is a classically trained pianist with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, and an M.A. and B.A. from UC Riverside. She has worked closely with Berkeley's Center for the Study of American Cultures in pioneering the study of American music from a multicultural perspective. For her work, Dr. Barkley has received numerous awards, including being selected as a Carnegie Scholar in the discipline of music, the California Professor of the Year.
She is the author of several published articles and books, including Collaborative Learning Techniques: A Handbook for College Faculty, now in its second edition (Jossey-Bass, 2014, 2004); Student Engagement Techniques: A Handbook for College Faculty (Jossey-Bass, 2010); At the Crossroads: The Multicultural Roots of America's Popular Music in America (Prentice-Hall, 2007); Great Composers and Music Masterpieces of Western Civilization (co-authored with Robert Hartwell, Pearson, 2003); and Crossroads: Popular Music in America (2000).
Session I - Expanding Your Repertoire of Effective Group Work Activities: Involving students in collaborative learning is a powerful teaching strategy, but sometimes we rely on a limited number of familiar activities. This interactive session will provide faculty with an increased toolbox of effective group work assignments by introducing them to group learning techniques in six categories: discussion, problem solving, reciprocal peer teaching, graphic information organizing, writing, and games. Lunch will be provided for this session.
