Stepping Back So Students Can Step Up: Designing Student-Centered Discovery-Driven STEM Lessons *IN PERSON* facilitated by Philip Dituri, Ph.D.-8:30-2:30pm
What if your students were doing more of the thinking than you are? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to redesign your STEM classroom so that students are active participants in their own learning, not passive recipients of yours. Discovery-based, student-centered instruction is about doing the work before students walk through the door so the magic can happen once they do. The payoff: when students have the structures and agency to drive their own learning, you’re not adding to your workload – you’re reducing it. Less reteaching. More engagement. Less carrying the cognitive load for the entire room. We’ll dig into how your warm-up and exit ticket can become engines for student discovery, why letting students wrestle with content before mastering it is a feature rather than a flaw, and how thin slicing and scaffolding let you guide students forward without giving the learning away. In this workshop, you will: -Explore classroom structures that support discovery-based learning -Learn how to use warm-ups and exit tickets to promote student inquiry -Develop your approach to scaffolding and thin slicing -Walk away with an enhanced or reimagined lesson of your own Come prepared: Bring a lesson or topic you want to make more student-centered. You’ll leave with something better than you arrived with. BYOD-Bring your own device. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit.
