Description: In this interactive workshop, we will explore practical, evidence-based active learning strategies that participants can apply to increase student engagement, participation, and deeper learning in both small and large classroom settings. Participants will develop ideas for their own activities, and we will workshop these together, so they can apply them the next time they teach.

This event is part of the Canadian Society of Plant Biologists Teaching Community of Practice. However, you do not need to be a member to participate. We welcome attendees at all career stages and levels of teaching experience.
