Recent challenges for instruction and assessment have left many instructors wondering what to do and where to turn for resources. Although approaches and strategies may have to be adjusted, we already have one valuable set of resources: our textbooks and the learning and other ancillary resources provided by our publishers. This session will highlight several strategies for using some of these resources to facilitate student engagement and assessment efforts in face-to-face and online class meetings.

Originally interested in a career as a researcher in the development of language and intelligence in developmentally delayed children and adolescents, Dr. Ciccarelli had publications in the American Journal of Mental Deficiency while still at Peabody. However, she discovered a love of teaching early on in her career. This led her to the position at Gulf Coast State College, where she taught introductory psychology and human development for more than 30 years. Her students loved her enthusiasm for the field of psychology and the many anecdotes and examples she used to bring psychology to life for them.
