Facilitator: Justin Shaffer 

Join Justin Shaffer, Teaching Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering and in Quantitative Biosciences and Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, as he shares his High Structure course design framework.

This is an evidence-based strategy used to engage and scaffold students throughout the learning process via pre-class content acquisition and formative assessment, in-class active learning and problem solving, after-class review and practice, and frequent summative assessment. This model of course design has been shown to increase student learning, reduce performance gaps, and promote development of students’ self-regulated learning skills. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to explain what high structure course design is, describe how high structure course design is beneficial to student learning and other outcomes, and develop ideas for implementing principles of high structure course design into their own courses.
