Are you looking for new ideas or strategies to enliven and improve your teaching? If so, please join us for this special interest group which will focus on strategies that instructors can use to successfully convey immunology concepts to students at the undergraduate and graduate level. Topics will include the concept and implementation of Just-in-Time Teaching, strategies to incorporate primary literature discussion into an undergraduate course, the use of a flipped classroom and peer instruction to promote active learning in the classroom, and more. The session will include ample time for open discussion and networking. Current educators, new faculty, and trainees with an interest in teaching are welcome.
