SUMMARY:Using Classroom Observation Tools to Track Active Learning
DESCRIPTION:Classroom observation tools provide an objective method for evaluating the use of active learning strategies in college classrooms (Lund et al.\, 2015). These tools allow instructors to document and assess their teaching practices\, track improvements over time\, and compile evidence for teaching portfolios\, faculty position applications\, and tenure reviews. \nOver the past two decades\, various protocols have been developed to systematically analyze classroom instruction. One widely used method is the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS; Smith et al.\, 2013). Originally designed for STEM disciplines\, COPUS has been applied across many fields due to its structured approach to capturing classroom dynamics. \nIn this workshop\, participants from all disciplines will receive hands-on training in COPUS\, which categorizes classroom activities without making subjective judgments about teaching quality. Observers record instructor and student behaviors using 25 distinct codes at 2-minute intervals\, creating a detailed snapshot of classroom interactions. \nBy the end of the session\, attendees will be equipped to use COPUS effectively to analyze and enhance instructional practices in their own classrooms. Participants will also learn how to use COPUS data to: \n\nReflect on their teaching practices\nIdentify opportunities to incorporate active learning strategies\nTrack and document teaching adaptations over time\nExplore how COPUS supports evidence-based teaching and improves student engagement\n\nBring your lunch and make the most of your lunch break with us!
