IBL Fall Workshop Series - Groupwork, Equity, and Student Buy-In

When:  Nov 30, 2022 from 03:00 PM to 04:30 PM (ET)
ABSTRACT
The goal of this session is to give workshop participants an opportunity to reflect on some of the things that can go wrong when students work together in groups in the classroom. We’ll look at a (enacted) video of groupwork not going well, and then consider different ways instructors can support more equitable and productive groupwork from Day 1.
