09/05/25 - Let's Get Moving: Strategies for Building Active Classrooms

Topic Details

Description:

Join us for a hands-on workshop that explores how teaching and space shape each other. In this interactive session, you will experience active learning firsthand by designing, arranging, and even physically transforming a classroom layout to support real teaching scenarios. Discover creative strategies to adapt to your classroom, whether flexible or fixed, for active engagement with your students. You’ll walk away not only with new teaching strategies, but with a renewed vision of what your classroom can be.

Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Following the session, we hope you can join us at our faculty social from 4 – 6 p.m. at Industry SMTX.
