"Join Ariela McCaffrey, Reference and Instruction Librarian from Connecticut State Community College Three Rivers, to explore different approaches to class discussion and engagement. In this presentation, McCaffrey will provide an overview of various engagement methods based on the works of Robert J. Marzano, Dan Rothstein, Luz Santana, and Dale M. Bauer. She will also discuss studies about student anxiety regarding "negative evaluation" and its impact on class conversation, specifically how it relates to first-generation students and their success in academia. Attendees will have time to share their own stories of struggle and triumph of engaging students in class discussion."
