Using Active Learning to Combat Student Apathy

All Locations: 9:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. (unless noted below)

One of the biggest challenges for a teacher is the battle against student apathy. One solution to this challenge is to ensure that our curriculum is highly engaging and presents multiple opportunities for active learning. What causes student apathy? What role does passive learning play in promoting student apathy?

Join us at our Spring Regional Meeting as we look at how we can help combat student apathy by changing the way we design lessons and instructional activities and how moving to active learning classrooms can help support learning and create a supportive learning environment.
