Challenges such as language proficiency, interaction, and belonging, can impact teaching effectiveness and hinder students' academic success. This workshop equips instructors and staff with the LIONS framework (Language, Interaction, Openness, Name, and Social) to better support international students.

You will enjoy different teaching strategies in a creative way with other participants. Each section will take 20 minutes, you can choose the one you are interested in and attend the section. Section 1: Activities for Medium Size Groups: Circle of Voices, Round Robin, Elevator Pitches During this section, you will practice Timed Round Robin: Every participant is given the same amount of time (e.g., 30 seconds) and takes turns to share responses on an open-ended question. Other similar activities for medium size groups are introduced by the lecturer. Section 2: Think-Pair-Share During this section, for a question, participants will have a few minutes to think it over (e.g., 2 minutes) and then turn to a peer for discussion. After a brief discussion (e.g., 5 minutes), you will be asked to share your peer's opinion in front of the class. Section 3: Jigsaw During this section, everyone will be assigned into an "expert group" to discuss a piece of an assignment. After reaching consensus (5 minutes), participants will be rearranged to "jigsaw group" so there's one person from each "expert group" at each "jigsaw group" to explain his or her group's discussion and conclusion (5 minutes) to form a finished project. Section 4: Roles in the Small Group During this section, everyone will be assigned into a group of 3 or 4 with roles - facilitator, notestaker, presenter, or moderator - to discuss a topic (3-5 minutes). After the group presentations, the instructor will debrief with the group performance.August 19th, 2:00pm - 3:15pm Register - https://fins.uconn.edu/secure_inst/workshops/workshop_view.php?ser=3124 (https://fins.uconn.edu/secure_inst/workshops/workshop_view.php?ser=3124)
