“What I hope students will remember for my course in ten years?”

According to the literature, active learning in engineering education has been challenging teachers to think and to do differently. Teachers expect to create a meaningful experience in the classroom, motivating and inspiring their students. For that reason, communication is one of the most important competences in teaching practice. This workshop aiming at using a “communication toolbox” to create unforgettable experiences in the classroom. Three questions will be developed during the workshop: 1) “We teach who we are?” - participants will think about their teaching identity; 2) “Can we be a remarkable teacher?” - communication techniques will be put into practice in different classrooms situations; 3) - “What I hope students will remember for my course in ten years?” - participants will be challenged to develop an action plan to make the difference in their teaching practice.
