ABOUT LEaP – The I-LEaP (Instructor-Learning Environment and Pedagogics) Institute is designed for faculty and instructors. TA-LEaP is designed for teaching assistants and all graduate students.
LEaP participants engage in a 2-day workshop designed to introduce them to the basics of teaching and learning using a curriculum developed and taught by the UW-Madison Teaching Academy. Participants will be introduced to evidence-based practices that have a high impact on student learning, including active learning ideas, syllabus and assignment design, assessment techniques, and information about what students really want from their instructors. Participants will also be introduced to how learning works, and how best to engage students, including simple approaches that instructors can use right away. Participants have the opportunity to share teaching experiences and become part of a community of learners.
If you have questions, please direct them to Jamie Henke, UW-Madison Teaching Academy member at: jamie.henke@wisc.edu
The LEaP programs are created, sponsored, and taught by the UW-Madison Teaching Academy
