Welcome to all new and returning faculty at Texas State University!
This engaging session is open to all faculty but is especially geared toward those new to teaching. We'll share simple, practical strategies you can use right away to keep your students engaged and help them thrive in your course. We're here to take some of the mystery out of teaching—plus, we'll tackle common challenges like:
• "I just lectured on that. Why did everyone fail the quiz?"
• "When I ask a question in class, why doesn’t anyone answer?”
• "Why don’t students come to my office hours?"
• "How did they not know that assignment was due? It’s in the syllabus!"
Starting out in the classroom comes with many questions—this session is here to help you tackle them with confidence.
