Instructors invited to weekly online Pedagogy Circles

The Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE) invites all Purdue instructors to join weekly Pedagogy Circles, informal one-hour online discussions led by Purdue’s Student Pedagogy Advocates (SPAs). The Pedagogy Circles will take place every Wednesday, 3:30-4:30 p.m. beginning Feb. 12 via Zoom. Each session of Pedagogy Circles will feature topics for conversation, such as how to create scaffolded learning structures while also encouraging students to embrace challenges and uncertainty.

Please complete this short Qualtrics survey to join the conversations this semester. You will receive email updates on topics and summaries of the discussions. Questions may be emailed to Dan Guberman (dguberma@purdue.edu). 

CIE’s SPA program matches instructors with undergraduate students interested in enhancing teaching and learning at Purdue. SPAs serve as a catalyst, helping instructors think through potential class structures and activities, observing and reporting back on the class to the instructor, and supporting communication between instructors and students enrolled in the course. Email Guberman for more information. 

CIE is a member of Innovative Learning, Purdue’s hub approach to connect instructors to the resources they need to engage students, develop courses in any instructional modality and enhance learning across the University. Other members include Libraries and the School of Information Studies and Purdue University Online. To learn more, visit www.purdue.edu/innovativelearning or email InnovativeLearningTeam@purdue.edu.
