08/19/25 - New to Teaching? We've Got Your "Easy Button"!
Description:

Welcome to Texas State! This engaging session is open to all faculty but is especially geared toward faculty who are new to teaching. We'll share simple, practical strategies you can use right away to keep your students engaged and help them thrive in your course. We're here to take some of the mystery out of teaching—plus, we'll tackle common challenges like:

• "I just lectured on that. Why did everyone fail the quiz?"
• "When I ask a question in class, why doesn’t anyone answer?"
• "Why don’t students come to my office hours?"
• "How did they not know that assignment was due? It’s in the syllabus!"

Starting out in the classroom comes with a lot of questions—this session is here to help you tackle them with confidence.

Tuesday, August 19 | 2:30 - 4 p.m. | Online via Zoom
