Class Planning Consultation
CTE staff can provide faculty members with support for how to effectively plan engaging classes for their students. This can involve reviewing the instructor's goals and objectives and discussing teaching strategies that might be most effective in achieving those goals. Faculty can arrange for consultation by contacting David Way (dpw2_at_cornell.edu).
Active Classroom Teaching Methods
The Getting Students Involved (pdf) framework provides a conceptual overview of classroom dynamics and communication behaviors that either help or hinder classroom learning and exchange.
A companion piece to the Getting Students involved is the Classroom Structures (pdf) matrix with a number of suggestions of how to structure learning activities with students, along with a list of preparation activities and limitations for each.
