Chris,
I love the materials! Thanks for sharing. I've put in a proposal to do a TBL workshop at a conference for law professors. If the proposal is accepted, I will definitely use some of your materials (with attribution, of course).
Thanks again.

I have given about a dozen of these one hour brown bag workshops to various departments and schools with very positive feedback. My best advice is not to lecture. Instead, give the faculty the opportunity to be a student in a TBL by doing
the workshop in TBL format.
For these workshops I give a brief introduction and then do TBL exactly as I do with my students, except the pre-work is done in class and the RAT and GAE are just a couple questions to give them the idea. They have team folders, IF-ATs,
A-E cards, the works.
I use the attached PPT to briefly demonstrate why they might want to use TBL. The PPT includes some published and unpublished student feedback data. Many of the slides are the same ones we use to guide our students through TBL activities
in the classroom. The "Hot Pepper" TBL works really well for this because it is very short and fun. I attach that as well, with the author's permission.
At the end of the session I ask "Did you learn something about hot peppers?".... they all say "Yes". Then I ask "Did I say anything about hot peppers?"...
Please let me know if you'd like further advice,

Subject: TBL Brown Bag to my Colleagues
Hello Fellow TBL-ers,
I will give a 1 Brown Bag to my colleagues in my department (Psychology) and college (Liberal Arts) on Friday 9/13. I intend to fashion much of the seminar with TBL Application
Exercises. The title: Team-Based Learning for Higher Levels of Learning. I will have 50 minutes. I am the only faculty (as far as I know) who does TBL at my university. For those of you have crafted such application exercises, could you send them to me? I’d
like to compile what I get and send it out to the list, so please indicate if I have your permission to do so. If this information is available on the website, please let me know (I was not able to locate it). Thanks in advance.
