Description
Our university is committed to delivering the highest quality instruction, and we believe that a classroom observation can significantly contribute to your growth as an effective teacher while showcasing your dedication to continuous improvement. Participating in a classroom observation offers numerous benefits, including enhancing your teaching effectiveness, fostering greater student engagement, and providing a focused pathway for professional development. By signing up for a classroom observation, we will visit one of your class sessions and offer valuable feedback on your lesson planning and delivery. The CTLs Classroom Observation process includes a pre-observation meeting, an in-class observation, a student survey, and a post-observation discussion. Through this comprehensive approach, we ensure that the observation experience is thorough and constructive. Upon completion of the observation process, you will receive a detailed Observation Report presented in a standardized format. The report will encompass insights from the observation, valuable student feedback, and practical suggestions for future improvements, ultimately assisting you in refining your teaching techniques. If you have any further questions, please visit our webpage: https://www.ctl.msstate.edu/services/teaching-feedback-person-courses.

Description
This session is brought to you by the Center for Distance Education. Dr. Zayd Abukar from EAB will guide attendees through an exploration of who today’s adult learners are—their motivations, their constraints, and how their pathways through higher education, especially at the graduate and professional levels, differ from those of traditional undergraduates. He will begin by examining the evolving adult learner market, highlighting key trends in degree conferrals and competition shaping this space. From there, he will unpack the mindset and expectations of modern adult students—what drives their decisions, the challenges they face, and how generational shifts from Millennials to Gen Z are redefining expectations around flexibility, affordability, and authenticity in higher education.
