SUMMARY:8985. Faculty Interest Group (FIG) - Creating Significant Learning Experiences 4 of 4

In this FIG, we’ll explore ways to make our courses transformative experiences for students, where “covering content” is done in service of larger goals rather than =0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
as an end in itself.  Using L. Dee Fink’s book Creating Significant Learning Experiences as a guide, we’ll think deeply about what it is we truly want our =0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
students to take away from their encounters with our disciplines.  We’ll brainstorm ways big and small to incorporate meaningful, authentic activities into our =0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
courses…and renew our own senses of purpose while we’re at it.  We’ll meet from 12:15 – 1:45 in the Faculty Center, leading with lunch and starting the =0D=0A=
=0D=0A=
discussion around 12:30.  We welcome those who would need to depart early for a 1:30 class.  Meeting dates: 2/5, 2/27, 3/27, and 4/24.=0D=0A=
The Academy for Teaching and Learning has graciously agreed to provide a copy of the book for each participant. Please contact Theresa Williams (x4064)or email at Theresa_Williams@baylor.edu for your copy. =0D=0A=
