Grading can be lonely work, especially at the end of the semester. Join your colleagues in a pomodoro work session. We will use a focused cycle: set a goal, work towards it for 25 minutes, and then take a five-minute break. We will repeat the cycle three times.

TEACHING EFFECTIVE COLLABORATION
CAFE’s 3rd Annual Pre-Spring Semester Workshop Series
January 3-5, 2024
Via Zoom
Teaching our students how to collaborate in multiple modalities – such as writing and speaking – and in multiple contexts – such as information literacy and with a focus on equity – enhances their interpersonal skills and develops a sense of collective responsibility. The ability to collaborate is a crucial skill that extends beyond the classroom. This symposium aims to explore innovative approaches, share best practices, and inspire educators to cultivate a collaborative spirit among students. In this series of workshops, CAFE Staff, CAFE Faculty Consultants, and DEC Staff will provide tips and tools to help you maximize the effectiveness of your collaborative classrooms. Each session will include time to work on your classes so that you walk away with a product to help improve your spring semester. The full schedule with workshop descriptions is posted @ https://blogs.longwood.edu/longwoodcafe/.
