Abstract

This poster provides an overview of strategies to infuse into undergraduate psychology teaching in the context of small seminar-style courses. Suggestions, aligned with Bloom’s taxonomy, include small-stakes leadership roles, guided activities, discussion prompts, and other responsibilities which actively co-create the learning dialogue. Poster concludes with student reflections and seeking feedback.
