What Brain-Based Techniques Can I Use to Engage Students During Class?

Facilitated by Lance Lee, Director, Teaching-Learning Center

Note: This is a pre-recorded presentation from professors at Concordia University with a discussion to follow.

This program demonstrates several techniques to engage student brains in learning. All can be incorporated into either a traditional 50-minute or a longer class period. Since each student’s brain is unique and may learn in different ways, the presenters offer specific techniques that help vary the learning experience during a typical classroom timeframe. This includes patterning activities, organization and cueing, and creating the emotional impact of the lesson.

This session is part of the TLC’s 2019-2020 programming theme: evidence-based teaching practice. Be sure to look for other sessions on the TLC calendar with this theme. Your attendance at three sessions during the 2019-20 year results in a TLC-issued certificate of evidence-based teaching.
