9-9:50 am | FRCAE | Tammy Bruno and Andrew Yeager | Active Pedagogy: Strategies for Student Engagement Active Pedagogy is a student-centered approach to teaching and learning that provides opportunities for students to be active participants in the learning process. Rooted in Constructivist Learning Theory, Active Pedagogy uses collaboration, problem-solving, inquiry, and real-world application to facilitate students in constructing knowledge rather than passively acquiring it. This session will provide strategies for developing group work, discussion, feedback and exercises in the active learning classroom. | Join the meeting - Microsoft Teams |

Sanborn Campus Afternoon | ||||
1-1:50 pm | FRCAE | Elizabeth Sachs and Lloyd Holmes | Book Discussion of Governance Reconsidered by Susan Resneck This session will be an opportunity to understand shared governance better: the roles of college presidents, faculties, and boards of trustees. We can emerge smarter than we were and hopefully more sanguine. In this book, the author fascinatingly discusses examples of successes and failures in shared governance in institutions of higher education across the United States. She flags the challenges facing higher education and governance in particular during the past several decades, illuminating in highly-readable fashion mysteries and conundrums that have impacted us, also, at SUNY Niagara. We can, hopefully, discuss, understand, and perhaps also begin to understand and move past governance trauma in SUNY Niagara's past. Please pick up a free copy of the book at the Lewis Library (20 copies available). | Join the meeting - Microsoft Teams |
