Summer Book Club

Summer Book Club Banner

The CVM Teaching Academy summer “book” club will meet again in summer 2016! This year‘s we will not use a book per se, but will instead explore a different weekly topic in educational instruction using a journal club format.

The "Book" Club format:

  • Our primary goal for this summer’s book club is to introduce and/or reinforce pedagogy and best practices in teaching and learning through meaningful peer interactions.
  • Practically, we hope that each week’s participants will come away with 1 or 2 take-home lessons they might apply to their own teaching.
  • Weekly topics and/or journal articles will be selected to provide timely, relevant, evidenced based support for educational ideas.
  • In 2016, we also hope to address more of the “early career” issues / questions that CVM junior faculty focus groups have raised.
  • Not time consuming!!! Just 8 weeks.

This year we will be meeting once a week:

  • Every Wednesday from 12:10-1 pm in ADBF 2018 (unless otherwise stated below)

The 2016 Summer "Book" Club selected readings:

    Selected journal articles and other resources that pertain to the topics can be found below.  

    All articles will be placed in Perusall.  This innovative platform allows participants to engage in a collaborative learning environment.  We will be experimenting with this to provide an opportunity tfor you to try a new learning technology.  Participation is encouraged using Perusall prior to attending the discussion or being able to give comments if unable to attend.
