If your career goals are to teach at any level or manage a research lab, this workshop is for you!

Based on principles from the HHMI/National Academies Summer Institute for Undergraduate Education in Biology, this interactive workshop will instruct participants how to use active learning techniques and strategies to create an equitable classroom.

The three learning objectives for this workshop are:

1. To explore how the structure of learning environments might influence student success.
2. To unpack concrete teaching strategies that add structure to learning environments and promote fairness and student success.
3. To use backwards design to implement active learning strategies within existing teaching styles.
