The Pedagogical Institute is a series of professional development workshops for faculty and staff that will be held May 14–24. The showcase event will feature Paul Hanstedt, a former Fulbright scholar who serves as a consultant on liberal education, writing pedagogies, course design, and general education in the United States and abroad.

His interactive presentation, “Critical Thinking in General Education and Beyond: Developing Effective Assignments and Pedagogies,” will ask faculty members to explore how critical thinking changes from field to field and how they can design assignments to assess the extent to which students have acquired this skill.

The Pedagogical Institute is a collaboration between the assistant dean for intellectual foundations ahd first-year programs and the Professional Development Office.
