Spotlights and Drop-Ins (January)
“What you stay focused on will grow.”
– Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart (2020)
Spotlights are brief, informal 30-minute sessions that focus on a single teaching topic and/or tool. They provide live demonstrations and opportunities to explore and share ideas for supporting student learning.
Drop-ins provide an additional 30 minutes directly following the spotlight sessions for unstructured discussion and opportunities to ask questions, practice with others, and get immediate feedback on any teaching and learning topic or tool.
January Spotlight Topics
See the table below for meeting dates and times on Zoom. Spotlight sessions take place in the first 30 minutes. You may stay for the entire session, or arrive after the spotlight session, to participate in the drop-in.
