You’re flying an
Adventurous Airplane!
You are moving at a jet-setting pace and are always looking for new learning adventures, but this can sometimes make you feel a bit out of control. But no worries—with a few simple changes, you can be well on your way to confidently leading an active learning classroom.
You have taken flight and started adding active learning tools to your toolbelt. You are creative and curious, and you want to learn more and continue to experiment. But your classroom may still lack engagement, there are rumblings of students complaining they are “teaching themselves,” and some days, you don’t feel like you are making a difference.
Your greatest opportunity for success is finding balance.
Finding an equilibrium between the comfortable content you are used to and the new (and sometimes unsteady) active learning tools is essential to building your confidence and gaining momentum in active learning.

Take on one lecture section per semester. This will allow you to build confidence in yourself.
