Join Kristin Plessel (University of Wisconsin-Whitewater) and Sidney Boquiren (Adelphi University) as they focus on fostering equity-mindedness by exploring the concepts of equity, equity-mindedness, and the contrast between deficit-based and asset-based approaches. Participants are guided through reflective exercises to identify pressing equity challenges in their work and practice reframing deficit-based narratives into asset-based language.

Are you ready to take your classroom to the next level? The POGIL Project's 3-day summer workshop provides instructors at all levels with a significant opportunity to obtain professional development in teaching and active learning. The POGIL approach is an innovative method that has equipped thousands of educators with the tools to provide high-quality, active learning experiences for their students. Participants in this workshop will be immersed in the concepts that make POGIL unique, and ultimately bring back skills to their institutions that have been proven to help students work more productively, increase their mastery and retention of key concepts, and improve their academic and interpersonal process skills.
On the first day of the workshop, those who are new to POGIL will attend a Fundamentals of POGIL session while those participants who have previously attended a POGIL workshop will attend two general sessions of universal application (such as POGIL Refresher, Fostering Inclusivity, Team Formation, etc). The end of the day and start of the second day will expose participants to Activity Structure and Modeling a POGIL Classroom, with an option to be introduced to POGIL Labs. For the remainder of the workshop, participants will follow a series of sessions focused on their chosen interest area - Activity Writing, Classroom Facilitation, or POGIL Labs.
