Over the last twenty-plus years, educational research has provided a better understanding of how students learn, how learning works, and what teaching approaches most help students learn. This interactive session extends the conversation about how to improve student learning with a parallel exploration of how to support effective teaching. We will look at the current understanding of what evidence-based teaching practices are, the factors that encourage or discourage adoption of successful classroom practices, and what faculty and student affairs leaders can do to promote the use of effective pedagogical approaches on their own campuses.
