Scholar's Café Community of Practice

Join us Thursday, October 20 from 3 to 4 p.m. on Teams for the Scholars' Café Community of Practice,

Ever wonder whether mindfulness exercises can help your students? Skeptical about the latest ideas of gamification in the classroom? What does the research say? This community will explore the teaching and learning research world, to support evidence-informed teaching practices. It’s like a book club, but for journal articles. All are welcome.
