The Faculty Program for Active Learning in STEM (GTSTEP/PALS), the Teaching to Increase Diversity and Equity in STEM (TIDES) grant project, and ELITE are happy to bring you the “Student Engagement Tips of the Month.”
Both PALS (with its focus on active learning in STEM) and TIDES (with its focus on active learning and culturally sensitive pedagogy) seek to incorporate highly engaging learning activities for diverse student populations into STEM courses. However, as you will see, many of these activities are not STEM-specific and can be applied to any course.
