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.
