Innovation in Teaching:
Developing Teamwork and Interpersonal Skills!

Home

Description

Building on the success of Innovation in Teaching: Novel Approaches to Knotty Problems, Developing Teamwork and Interpersonal Skills! is a brownbag featuring three departments. A "spokesperson" chosen by each department will briefly summarize (7 minutes) the way the department develops teamwork and interpersonal skills in the courses and the out-of-classroom opportunities they provide. The focus of the talks will be on how the student experience is designed to develop the skill and assess the skill. Come prepared to ask questions, request details, and discuss. The goal of the series is to promote joint problem-solving, sharing of good ideas, and recognition of efforts to help students in this important area. 

Why come?

• Learn techniques tried by others to achieve specific goals for teamwork and interpersonal skills in the context of a discipline.
• Discuss how classroom (e.g. capstone courses) or out-of-classroom (e.g. internship or laboratory experience) work to enhance learning or present challenges in developing teamwork and/or interpersonal skills.
