You’ve heard the buzz about active learning—it boosts student engagement, deepens understanding, and fosters a sense of belonging. But knowing where to begin or finding the time to implement these strategies can feel overwhelming. That’s where "Active Learning Essentials: Bridging Research and Practice" comes in.
This six-week professional development is designed for educators who are ready to move beyond the theory and into practical, sustainable active learning practices. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your techniques, this course provides the structure, time, and support you need to create engaging and impactful learning experiences.
