Lunch and Learn Series: From Plato to Pixar: Using Storytelling Frameworks to Drive Learner Engagement

Description

After another successful series last academic year, the Center for Teaching Excellence and Innovation's Lunch and Learn—Conversations on Teaching returns for 2024-2025. These casual discussions over lunch spotlight experienced faculty sharing innovative teaching practices and demonstrating how others might implement similar strategies.

As the cognitive scientist Daniel Willingham said, stories are "psychologically privileged": "There is something inherent in the story format that makes them easy to understand and remember."

Join Brian Klaas, instructor and associate director of technology for the Bloomberg School of Public Health, for an exciting and high-energy workshop about incorporating storytelling techniques into your instruction. Learn how to leverage the "memorability" of stories to support your learning goals.

This is a hybrid event; please indicate if you will be virtual or in person. Lunch provided for all in-person attendees.
