Webex, alternating Fridays, beginning September 4 at 2:00
We will meet every other Friday throughout the fall semester to discuss the 2019 book _Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning_, by Pooja Agarwal and Patrice Bain. This book applies research in cognitive science to teaching and details pedagogical strategies proven to increase and enhance student learning. The book encourages educators to ask, “How can I turn my teaching into powerful teaching,” and the authors explain how they can help: “we decipher cognitive science research, illustrate how we have applied the science of learning in our own teaching, and provide evidence-based recommendations to empower educators to unleash the science of learning in their classrooms.” Please direct any questions about the _Powerful Teaching_ Book Club to Dr. Kelly Marsh at kmarsh@english.msstate.edu, and, if you’d like to join, please sign up on the CTL website at https://www.ctl.msstate.edu/ by August 21.

Current copyright law does not require that a copyrightable work be formally registered or display a ©. Consequently, the availability of massive amounts of perceived free content on the internet makes it difficult to discern what is truly free to use (that is, having no restrictions) and what requires permission from a copyright holder prior to use.
