IDU LUNCH & LEARN SEMINAR

DIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY CLASSROOM:

Implication for Teaching & Learning

Do your students differ in age, learning styles, gender, levels of preparedness, pre-existing skills, ability, language, socio-economic status, race, family make-up and other dimensions? Do these differences present significant pedagogical challenges? If so, you may want to attend this seminar.

Professor Joy Mighty, Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning, Queen’s University, Canada, who has been visiting with the UWI over the past two weeks will be hosting this Lunch & Learn Seminar.

Come, join us as ideas and views are exchanged with fellow colleagues on how one can enhance the quality of teaching and learning in light of the myriad of identities and experiences students bring to the classroom.
