[Faculty] Teaching Workshop: Motivating Learners @ SDSU Spring 2022

[Joaquin Camacho]

Esteemed Colleagues:


A self-paced workshop is offered next Spring to enhance teaching
effectiveness from SDSU and other CSU faculty.


Motivating Learners ( website
<https://sites.google.com/motivatelab.org/themotivatinglearnerscourse/home>)
is a short course to discuss tools for reaching students and increasing
buy-in to your courses.

The Motivating Learners Course

Motivate Lab has created a professional development course called the
Motivating
Learners Course. Drawn heavily from motivation science and education
research on learning mindsets, this two-part, hands-on course equips
faculty to kick off their courses with motivationally-supportive tools and
language designed to excite students for the semester ahead and sustain
that motivation via pedagogical practices. Early feedback from both CSU
faculty who have participated in the course has been overwhelmingly
positive and encouraging.

Supporting Your Involvement

With generous support from the College Futures Foundation, we are able to offer
this course for free to a cohort of CSU faculty this spring.

Why am I reaching out to you?

Our approach to this course is to create clusters of faculty who teach in
similar disciplines. We hope to create a learning community of faculty who
can also connect on disciplinary content and potentially share useful
innovations with one another.

If you have any questions, please email either of your SDSU Faculty
Fellows: Allison Vaughn (avaughn at sdsu.edu) or Christal Sohl (csohl at sdsu.edu)
