Old School vs. New School: Homework LIMITED

Thursday February 13, 2025 10:30am - 11:30am CST

M311 (Sci Lab) ANNEX

Is homework necessary to prepare students for college?
How do you feel about flipped classroom models?
How much is too much homework?

These are the types of questions you can pose and answer in this session of our Old School vs. New School series!

In our first ever "Old School vs. New School" series, participants will be given the space and opportunity to discuss important topics in education. There are no right or wrong answers to these often sticky questions. We want to provide you with a chance to share your thoughts while also learning from others. Great things can come from engaging in discourse with other experts in education!

As an added bonus, the facilitators will be using interactive communication protocols that you can experience and then adapt to your own classroom.
