The 2021 Teachers Seminar will be split over two half-days and will help attendees personalize the application of the learning sciences like elaboration, interleaving and motivation to their unique teaching needs. The seminar will model these teaching practices and provide a scaffolded approach to applying the evidence to improve student and/or trainee learning. Participants will leave the workshop with a plan to design or redesign a lesson in their teaching area.
Participants will acquire some foundational understanding of the learning sciences prior to the seminar through reading, videos and other preparatory material. Estimated time for preparation is 1 hour.
On Day 1, facilitators will review the pre-seminar learning and have participants apply these evidence-based practices in designing various learning activities around a common topic. Day 1 will end with participants starting to apply this newly gained knowledge to their own content.
On Day 2, attendees will participate in roundtables to personalize their learning experiences, hearing from others and sharing their various approaches on the topic. These roundtables will encompass concepts including active and reflective learning, problem solving and critical thinking, and assessment practices to build inclusive learning environments. Day 2 will end with applying the knowledge gained to further sharpen their skills when designing instruction for their own content.
This seminar is facilitated by a diverse group of experts based on discipline, teaching venue and home institution.

Early Career Faculty Program
Bridging the Divide between Science and Practice
Wednesday, July 14 - 1:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m.
Fee: Complimentary with Annual Meeting Registration
Effectively bridging science and practice can create opportunities to advance your own professional development and better prepare your students to succeed in a rapidly changing profession. However, many faculty struggle to apply the lessons of their own discipline meaningfully in their teaching. Collaboration with colleagues from across the science-practice divide and integration of teaching and scholarship can be the key to greater joy in your work and impact in your results.

APhA Career Pathway Evaluation Program for Pharmacy Professionals
Friday, July 16 - 12:30 p.m.–4:30 p.m. ET
Fee: Complimentary with Annual Meeting Registration
To make a sound career decision, you need knowledge about two important subjects—the pharmacy profession and yourself. The APhA Career Pathway Evaluation Program for Pharmacy Professionals ;is not a “quick fix” that will enable you to reach a career decision by the end of the workshop, nor is it a substitute for your own research. However, it can help you identify the pharmacy career option that is appropriate for you by providing information and guidelines you will need to carry out this process.
After working through the exercises within this program and participating in a live workshop, you will not only have detailed and useful information about many areas of pharmacy practice, but also will have a clearer understanding of how to choose a career path in pharmacy that is right for you.
