Workshops and ProgramsEach semester, CTE facilitates a number of programs for the NYU teaching community. These programs, covering a wide variety of teaching and learning issues, are presented by NYU faculty members and experts on teaching and learning from around the country. The programs are free and open to the NYU community. Spring 2013 Teaching Development ProgramsVideo for Knowledge Building and Assessmentfeaturing: Thursday, February 21. 12:30-2:00 p.m., Kimmel Center Room 802 This session will consist of two presentations. Building Baseline Knowledge with Video: Do you often wish that all of your students came to your class with the same foundation of knowledge? Do you spend vital classroom time at the start of each semester reviewing foundational information for students. Regain this vital classroom time but still ensure that your students are learning necessary content by creating small video content segments which students can review at their own pace, ensuring that everyone starts their first day of class on the same page. Video Assessments in Teaching and Learning: Learn how to develop conceptual observation & assessment models that are discipline & content focused to help support balanced, reliable, and valid instructional methods. Understand how to locate & target media rich content and how to develop in-class support structures that complement your learning environment(s) and align with your instructional goals. NYU faculty members and graduate students are invited to participate in this program, sponsored by the Center for Teaching Excellence. Lunch will be provided. Enrollment limited.

Janice Cutler Symposium on Undergraduate Science Educationfeaturing: Friday, March 1. 1:00-5:00 p.m. (with reception to follow), The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center 250 Greenwich Street, 40th floor, New York, N.Y. This symposium features panel presentations by three distinguished science educators—representing the disciplines of chemistry, biology, and physics—who will share their experiences and insights about undergraduate science education. Drawing on general educational principles and discipline-specific themes, the presentations will highlight research-based innovations in curriculum design, pedagogy, and assessment that enable students to learn science more effectively. These methods include active learning, scientific teaching, and a focus on student learning outcomes. Following the presentations, participants will engage in a roundtable workshop session with the goal of implementing a teaching innovation within their own science courses and assessing its impact on student learning. The symposium will provide faculty members, postdocs, and graduate students in a range of disciplines with the knowledge and skills to improve teaching and learning in undergraduate science courses. NYU faculty, postdocs, and graduate students are eligible to attend this event free of charge.
