ETE Learning Circle - Foundations of College Teaching
Workshop/Training
This Learning Circle is ideal for graduate students teaching their first class or new faculty who have never received formal instructional education. However, the knowledge presented in this Learning Circle can useful to instructors at point in their career. This Learning Circle is designed to help instructors develop course objectives and align content, activities, and assessments for those objectives.
Gilman Study Abroad Scholarship Workshop

If you are currently receiving a Pell Grant, then you are eligible to apply for the Gilman Scholarship for study abroad! Fall 2020, Academic Year 2020-2021, and Summer 2020 applications are due March 3, 2020.

Why Failure is Essential for Student Learning
Workshop/Training
Students are frequently asked to achieve, on their first attempts, stellar results on high-stakes, high-pressure assessments. New research on the science of learning is beginning to show us that this strategy does not work well, though, because it is not how human beings naturally learn. We need to make mistakes before we can get the right answers. In this talk, I’ll be reviewing some of the most important findings in this new area of inquiry and suggesting ways that we can generate “opportunities for failure” in our courses so that our students may learn more effectively.
Josh Eyler is director of faculty development and director of the Thinkforward Quality Enhancement Plan at the University of Mississippi, where he is also on the faculty in the department of writing and rhetoric. He previously worked on teaching and learning initiatives at Columbus State University, George Mason University, and Rice University. His research interests include the biological basis of learning, evidence-based pedagogy, and disability studies, and he is the author of How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories behind Effective College Teaching (WVU, 2018).
