Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching (FACET)

IU Kokomo FACET invites any and all IU FACET members and a guest to a half-day workshop before spring classes begin. Dr. Mark Taylor will present Meet Generation NeXt and Teaching Today’s Learners, on Thursday, Jan. 7, in KC130. Check in and continental breakfast begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 9 a.m.  to 12 noon workshop. Your registration link is at the end of this message. Registration is due by noon Monday, Jan 4.

Dr. Taylor presented at the 2007 IU FACET retreat and comes with high recommendation from attendees. If you want to learn more, here is your chance.  Dr. Taylor will bring us a detailed look at the unique challenges of this generation of students and how to engage them in our courses.

Meet Generation NeXt explains the differences in social environments and formative experiences that lead to issues in these students’ academic preparation, responsibility and self-esteem, consumer expectations, use of technology, and styles of interaction.  Find out how these affect their learning, persistence, academic success, and workplace readiness.

Then Teaching Today’s Learners follows as an active session to start working on ways to apply immediately useful methods to engage students. The methods you will learn prepare you to increase both student responsibility for their own learning and achievement of meaningful learning and developmental goals.
Dr. Taylor is a nationally recognized educator, expert, consultant, and speaker on the forefront of transformations in education practice and workplace management. He holds a graduate degree from the University of Arkansas and academic appointments at Arkansas State University and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Graduate School.  His current research focuses on neurological and brain based applications in teaching and learning.
More details regarding the workshop are located in the attached flyer. Also, here is a link to the speaker’s website where you can find more details about his work and his articles.

=Publications

The following items are available from Indiana University Press:

 Quick Hits: The original "quick hits" were collected in 1991 at a FACET gathering to exchange tips about successful teaching. Each participant described a particular challenge and explained how he or she handled it. The book covers four main areas: General Teaching Tips, Student Motivation and Involvement, Philosophies of Teaching and Learning, and Discipline-Specific Ideas. It deals with such subjects as first days, teleconferences, enlivening lecture courses, motivation, intergroup conflict, teamwork, student boredom, classroom leadership, writing, science, history, music and much more. A brief mention of Quick Hits in the Chronicle of Higher Education led to a flood of orders.

 More Quick Hits: More Quick Hits, the second in the Quick Hits series, includes special sections on service and learning, technology and learning, and using assessment and evaluation for learning. Included among these strategies are tips for designing courses and environments that promote learning, innovative strategies for creating learning communities, communities where not only students learn, but teachers do too. An annotated "Quick List" of weightier resources on teaching and learning is included at the end of the volume, and "Quick Wits," words and pictures to both encourage and amuse, are sprinkled throughout the book.
