Learning works best when it's fun--and that's true for faculty, too. This dynamic and engaging workshop will give you ideas on how to lay a solid foundation for an engaging learning environment all semester, right from the first day. You'll peek into the thoughts your students are bringing into the classroom that day, why it's critical to spark joy and create community from the start, and leave with specific ideas for how to implement this in your own class. Plus, you'll renew your excitement, too!
