Learn how adding transparency into your teaching can strengthen active learning, assignments, and assessment in this one-part workshop. Participants will be encouraged to apply new ideas and information related to transparency to your own instruction or to an imagined course and will be provided opportunities to share and receive feedback from peers. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Describe transparency in teaching as it relates to active learning implementation strategies, assignment design, and use of assessment in the teaching and learning process.
• Plan new, transparent approaches to instruction designed to foster student motivation and engagement.

This workshop is part of CIRTL’s fall programming on evidence-based teaching fundamentals.
