Stanley Lo workshop
Workshop

Evidence-based, Inclusive Teaching Strategies Workshop

This workshop will provide hands-on practice using evidence-based, inclusive teaching strategies. Active learning will be an area of focus, along with methods of using classroom observation to improve one’s teaching. The event is part of our continuing efforts toward more culturally-relevant teaching and is made possible by the Title V Grant (Award #P031S150199).

Our expert guest for this workshop is Stanley Lo, who is on the national steering committee for the Summer Institutes on Scientific Teaching. Stanley Lo received his Ph.D. in biochemistry from Harvard University and was a senior research associate at the Searle Center for Advancing Learning and Teaching at Northwestern University. In 2014, he joined the faculty of the Division of Biological Sciences at UC San Diego.
