Educational leaders are consistently challenged to find innovative ways to maximize learning outcomes for students. Some of the more recent approaches aimed at improving student achievement that have emerged in public school systems involve paying students cash for good grades, attendance and good behavior. While these financial incentive programs are only a few years in the making, they have been initiated in many places throughout the U.S . The various programs have been developed with slightly different specifications and have been given unique names, but they all entail financially compensating students, many of whom are socioeconomically disadvantaged.

For more than ten years, the Leaders and Fellows of the Institute for Transforming Undergraduate Education (ITUE) have encouraged the adoption of student-centered and active classroom pedagogies-and in particular-the use of PBL in the undergraduate classroom. On- and off-campus workshops are held for faculty and students to enhance their understanding of PBL.

Active Learning in class assessment

Learning Catalytics is an application that allows students to respond in class to prompts (similar to clickers) with a variety of styles for the questions. Yes, it is like clickers, but it is even more than that due to the variety of question styles. One benefit is the teacher login is free, so you can start creating questions right away. There are also questions already available for a number of subjects. The disadvantage is the student logins cost money. (Currently $20/year per student.)

By Stuart Grandy, Nichole N. Barger Academic Leadership, The Online Journal Volume 8 - Issue 2 Apr 19, 2010 - 10:20:41 AM We report on the implementation of a range of classroom activities that have been widely advocated in the literature and yet remain less common in the sciences than other disciplines. The practices we use include: 1) seminars, in which students take a lead in discussion of course content; 2) role-playing activities whereby students take on the role of a different person and creatively explore how their perspectives may change; and 3) oral and written self evaluations
