August 4 & 5, 2026 Fundamentals of POGIL Virtual Workshop (4 Aug 2026)

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 17:00:00 GMT

This is an introductory workshop designed for those with limited or no previous exposure to POGIL pedagogy. This is a very learner-centered, active-learning workshop. There will be a small homework assignment given to help participants reflect on their learning and prepare for either the second half of the day or the second day, depending on whether you attend the 1-day or 2-half day workshop.

Participants will engage with teammates and workshop facilitators to:

Identify the essential elements of POGIL.
Complete POGIL activities & observe classroom facilitation strategies.
Incorporate the development of key process skills (21st century) into POGIL lessons.
Explore the Learning Cycle and the structure of POGIL activities.
