Catalyst Learning Curricula workshops are fun and instructive!

Often the best way to learn is to walk through each activity or experiment from a student's perspective. Not only do you gain a thorough understanding of each learning technique, but it's a lot more interesting than attending a lecture.

Do you use puzzles to teach pattern recognition?

You can use puzzles to tell the story of a theorem, function, or process...making puzzles invaluable teaching tools.

In tomorrow's evening workshop we'll be exploring ways to use puzzles to teach pattern recognition & critical thinking.

Tuesday, May 10 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EST
