Facilitating Student Motivation and Engagement: Institutional Values and Best Practices for the
Classroom
Description: This presentation focuses on an obstacle to student success at the college level, as reported in
research on learning and retention: lack of motivation and / or engagement in learning. The opening to the
session will focus on a definition of the two terms, working against generalized misconceptions about
motivation and engagement as internalized factors in learning that cannot be addressed or remedied. A
second segment of the presentation will focus on conditions in educational settings that are not conducive to
motivation and engagement: institutional structure, mission, and values; practices within advisement and
student services/student life functions; and the centerpiece in all discussions on the topics: the
teaching/learning experience in the classroom.
Handouts: PowerPoint Length: 4 hours 14 minutes
Writing and Grading Exam Questions for the Clinical Sciences
Description: Writing and grading test items for the clinical sciences presents a unique challenge. It is
important to develop questions that are similar to the types of questions that will be on the certifying exams all
must take. If students do not practice on questions that are similar in design to the certification exam
questions, they might know the material but not be able to answer the questions because of their difficulty or
design. This session will provide some guidance in developing and grading these types of
questions. Participants will receive a detailed PowerPoint that will include all examples and instructions
presented in the webinar. Participants will also have the opportunity to design and analyze test items through a
discussion board following the webinar.
Handouts: PowerPoint, Implementation Guide
Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
The 10 Traits of Great Teachers: How to Tap into Student Motivation and Maximize Retention
Description: How do we create classroom chemistry–whether we call it student engagement, a learning
community, motivated students, or just a great classroom atmosphere? When that magic is there, teaching is
energizing, powerful and motivating for both the student and the teacher. Participants will learn the 10 traits of
great teachers, how to utilize career goals as a motivating factor in the classroom, how to design and
implement a first impression student survey of their Day1 experience, and more. Join us to learn how you can
create an engaging and motivating classroom atmosphere and keep it going for a whole semester.
Handouts: PowerPoint Length: 1 hour 29 minutes
Creating Tests that Assess Higher Order Thinking Skills
Description: When you complete this workshop, you should be able to:
Write different types of questions that will assess more than knowledge and comprehension on the Bloom’s
Taxonomy Scale. Analyze test items to determine if these test items assess higher order thinking skills.
Avoid signaling the correct answer by knowing common errors in teacher-developed exams.
Handouts: PowerPoint
Length: 1 hour 20 minutes
