CTE906 Classroom Dynamics and Engagement What will you do when a student arrives late to your class? Disturbs others in the class with inappropriate laptop use? Tells you that your course is much harder than all their other courses? These are everyday issues that every faculty member will experience. At this workshop, you will become aware of common issues in classroom dynamics and will work to devise strategies to handle these issues. We will also consider the impacts of the potential strategies developed in terms of learner motivation and engagement. CTE912 Assessment for Learning How do we know students know and can do new things as a result of our courses and assignments? How will they know they know?
