Research tells us that students rarely retain the bulk of information they receive in their college courses. Students are much more likely to retain the skills they used to discover, process and interpret that information. In other words, they may not remember what they read, but they’ll remember how they read it. So why do we spend so much time in course planning on “covering the information” and so little on skill building? Why do we talk to our students about what they should know, but rarely about what they should know how to do? This workshop will help you clarify and codify the skills you would like your students to have at the end of their time with you, and use these learning goals to direct your course planning.
