Facilator: Jaime Wood
Each time we teach we make a variety of decisions based on conscious and unconscious beliefs about how people learn. In this interactive workshop, we will explore the "why" behind the "what" we do in the classroom, we will be introduced to four learning theories, and we will practice creating classroom activities based on the theories that best align with our teaching philosophies.
