The folks behind Eager Mondays have ten academic degrees among us and decades of experience in higher education as students, faculty, and staff members. We are, in short, your people.
If your unit, department, college, or university needs assistance with improving learning or instruction, we’re here to help. Our goal is always to make instructors more thoughtful about teaching, but this desire stretches to staff trainers as well as teaching faculty and graduate students. We have worked with universities as diverse as the University of California, Davis; the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Japan; and Kyushu University in Japan.
We encourage you to contact us to discuss your vision of what a renewed focus on teaching and learning would look like in your workplace, campus, or community.
In particular, however, we have expertise in establishing and running a teaching center, creating a collegial corps of graduate student instructors that provides peer advising, and helping individual instructors and departments move beyond the tyranny of content and coverage to student-centered classrooms. We can show you how to use both traditional teaching technologies (e.g. the blackboard) in concert with new media to craft learning communities of engaged students who not only remember what you taught them, but also want to put it into practice in the future.
