TAPT-ers,
J.D. has snagged another great speaker for us for our fall-semester kick-off breakfast. We will meet on September 17th at the University of Arizona, room PAS 218, at 8:30am for breakfast and a talk by Jonathan Tullis, Director of the CAMEL (Cognition and Memory in Education and Learning) Laboratory at the U of A. Professor Tullis is a former physics teacher who now studies Cognition and Learning. Breakfast will be provided by the U of A Physics Department. Thanks, U of A!
I’ll send directions and parking information in a future email. It is a football Saturday, but it seems like the parking structure will be open in the morning. I’ll send more information in the next week.
This is from Professor Tullis, about his talk:
Cognitive Techniques to Improve Student Learning
I will provide an overview of a variety of different instructional techniques grounded in cognitive theory that can bolster student learning and performance. Examples of effective cognitive techniques include testing, spacing, scaffolding, and self-explanations.
Hope to see you all there. Everyone is welcome. If you have colleagues who might enjoy the talk, feel free to let them know about it.
Best,
Karie
