Join us as we explore one of the most critical questions college instructors are asking today: how do we become more inclusive instructors? As higher education continues to become more diverse, inclusivity in college teaching and learning is essential to creating equality in learning outcomes. In this series, staff in the University of Colorado Boulder's Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) engage with scholars and practitioners across the country to discuss approaches to meeting the needs of today's college students.

S2 E2: Small Teaching

In this episode, we are in conversation with Dr. James Lang or Jim as we will refer to him to discuss small teaching, its relevance in higher education, the importance of contextualized knowledge in deep thinking and what small teaching practices are applicable in the age of online learning and AI. This episode's discussion revolves a lot around Jim's book on Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning (2nd Edition, Jossey-Bass, 2021), which emphasizes how to "spark positive change in higher education through small but powerful modiﬁcations to our course design and teaching practices.” Jim has written extensively on various aspects of teaching in higher education. He is the author of six books, the most recent of which are Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It (Basic Books, 2020) and You can find more of Jim's writing on his website: https://www.jamesmlang.com.
