The participants will examine suggested elements in a lesson plan, as well as, an effective lesson plan template. The plan will identify what you will teach, how you will deliver the material and how the outcomes are measured.

Games And Icebreakers

‘Playing’ with students is a great way to facilitate peer connections and make a point about course content. Games within a class period can be used to ‘bring it all together’ after content has been covered, or ‘set the stage’ for content yet to be covered. Icebreakers
can actually be used throughout the semester and program to encourage students to get out of their social ‘comfort zone’, and connect with peers that they would not necessarily seek out. Whatever your motive, games and icebreakers make memories and add richness to the classroom!

post-secondary institutions are so diverse?
2) What can my department/school do to recruit and retain employees that reflect
the diverse student body?
