<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">You are invited to join the third cohort of Brooklyn College faculty, who will have the opportunity to take part in training for Team-Based Learning this January
to try this new approach in their classes in the Fall 2014 semester. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Team-Based Learning (TBL) was first developed to facilitate active learning in large undergraduate classes. It has subsequently proved to be effective in a
wide range of instructional settings. The advantages of TBL include improved attendance, increased pre-class preparation, better academic performance, and the development of interpersonal and team skills, in class sizes ranging from 10 to 400, with courses
in hundreds of academic disciplines and students ranging from freshmen on academic probation to doctoral-level students.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">TBL has also been shown to reduce faculty burnout by promoting increased student responsibil<a name="_GoBack"></a>ity, engagement in the learning process, and
increased opportunities for positive teacher-student interactions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The TBL Academy, which is supported by a grant from the CUNY Office of Academic Affairs, will take you through the process of transforming a traditional course into a TBL course. $1,000
will be made available to faculty members who complete TBL Training during the January 2014 Intensive Training Institute (January 21, 22, 23, & 24, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.), attend some additional training sessions during the Spring 2014 semester to support the course
redesign process, and work on revising their syllabus in Summer 2014 for implementing TBL in a course during Fall 2014.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">This initiative includes the opportunity to engage in supported research on the process and its outcomes. The TBL Academy will also have some sessions on research,
the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL), and presentation and publication opportunities.
