Active Learning, Inquiry Teaching (ALIT) Certificate Kickoff

In this kick-off event for the second year of the new certificate program in Active Learning, Inquiry Teaching (ALIT) we’ll discuss strategies to motivate our students to learn on their own—including encouraging them to buy in to active learning approaches in our classes. Participating faculty will share from their experiences and research in this area. The certificate program is designed to support faculty in adopting teaching practices that foster the retention of students in STEM majors and support the development of their students as STEM professionals. The program is open to all instructional faculty who teach courses in the Colleges of Natural and Mathematical Sciences or Engineering and Information Technology and is funded by the Colleges, the FDC, and the NIH-funded STEM BUILD at UMBC initiative. All ALIT participants are encouraged to attend the kickoff. Lunch is provided.
