Making Courses Memorable: Beginning and Ending

Facilitated by JuliA Metzker (Washington Center), Caralyn Zehnder (University of Massachusetts Amherst), Cynthia Alby (Georgia College and State University), Karynne Kleine (Georgia College and State University)
Too often we open courses by reviewing the syllabus and end them with a final exam. In both cases, we squander critical opportunities to engage learners, build relationships, and reflect. In this interactive workshop, the facilitators will help translate ideas from Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters to education, and participants will apply those ideas to course design. Participants will plan course introductions that welcome and build community and course conclusions that allow for looking inward and looking outward.
