The University of Delaware Faculty Commons Book Club will meet at noon, Wednesday, April 26, to discuss Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning by James Lang. This session will be facilitated by Kathy Langan Pusecker, interim director of the Center for Teaching and Assessment of Learning. Register online here.

Lang has agreed to provide the interactive keynote presentation at the 2017 Summer Faculty Institute on May 30. In his book, he provides a number of practical ideas for faculty to consider adopting to enhance learning and make teaching more purposeful.  

Limited free copies of the book will be awarded to participants based upon registration, and winners will be contacted via email.

In addition, the UD Library has the book on reserve behind the Morris Library Circulation and Reserve Desk, where it can be checked out. The book club reserve course is called FCOM 999 (Faculty Commons Book Club). Give the Circulation and Reserve staff the call number or ask for assistance in looking up the call number. The loan period is three days in order to make it available to as many borrowers as possible during the next few weeks.

The April 26 meeting will be held in Faculty Commons (116 Pearson Hall). Drinks and dessert will be provided. RSVP is requested.

The Faculty Commons is always looking for book club facilitators. Those who are interested in leading this discussion or sponsoring a session in the future can contact faculty-commons@udel.edu.
