Speaking

 


Thank you for considering me as a speaker for your event! I enjoy working with college professors, postdocs, and graduate students who want to learn more about how to teach effectively, engage students, and improve learning!


Let's get started!

Contact me and tell me a little about your goals and your event. Then, we'll schedule quick call so I can learn more about your goals for the program, the participants, and the logistics.

After we discuss your event, I will create a proposal for you which will include the program details, learning outcomes, deliverables, and costs.

Workshop Topics:

  • Time Saving Teaching Techniques for Busy Professors

  • Easy and Effective Active Learning Strategies You Can Use in Any Course to Engage Students and Improve Learning

  • Tips for Designing and Facilitating In-Person Active Learning Experiences in the College Classroom

  • The Faculty Job Interview: Preparing for Your Teaching Demonstration

  • Create Your Teaching Portfolio in 5 Steps

  • Introduction to College Teaching

  • FLIP It: A New Way to Think about Flipped Course Design 

Details:

I create online and blended workshops and programs for faculty, postdocs, and graduate students that include self-paced lessons and live Q&A. Custom programs include:

  • I will design an online program specifically based on the needs, challenges, and goals of your participants. 

  • Your participants will get access to a custom website and registration page to make it easy to enroll and participate.

  • I'll take care of administrative details for you! I'll create welcome emails, marketing flyers, reminder emails, and collect participation data.

  • Your participants get access to a private discussion forum just for them. I am very active in the forums and I provide feedback on all discussion posts. 

  • You can add custom features such as live Q&A sessions, assignments, a private shared Google docs space, a private podcast feed, and online certificates to your program at no additional cost.


Here are a few examples of custom online professional development programs I created for campuses:

 

I created a 6-week virtual professional development program for the LW Tech Mathematics Department. This program included 5 lessons plus a "Choose Your Own Adventure" series of lessons where faculty chose any 2 lesson that they were most interested. I also created a private podcast feed so faculty could take their lessons on the go if they wanted to.




I created a series of 3 workshops for the faculty at Tri-County Technical College. The workshops included self-paced modules, synchronous Q&A sessions, and homework and peer review activities.

 

I created a series of webinars for graduate students and postdocs at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. The webinars were designed to help future faculty prepare to teach at the college level.
I created a "choose your own adventure" format for postdocs at NIH. They completed 5 core modules and then selected 3 topics that aligned with their personal goals, experiences, and interests.




FROM CLIENTS:

"Dr. Honeycutt created a stellar professional development program for our faculty. Instead of a traditional workshop presentation, she developed 3 self-paced modules for our faculty and then followed up with a Q&A. This was incredibly successful and surpassed our expectations. Faculty appreciate the self-paced opportunity and the Q&A that followed. The entire event including the quality of the modules, the registration process and the tracking of participants went off without a hitch. Beautifully executed! It was a breeze! And the faculty loved it!"  --Dr. Audrey Dentith, Director of Academic Teaching and Learning. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University


"Dr. Barbi Honeycutt was instrumental in launching a new teaching workshop series for the graduate students and postdocs at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute. The graduate students and postdocs who attended Dr. Honeycutt’s workshops rated her highly on her knowledge and expertise, on her communication and interaction with the audience, and on the resources and materials she provided.

After attending her workshops, all participants thought their confidence increased in both their approach to teaching in the classroom and their awareness of best practices. They also commented that they would recommend her workshops to others and were likely to attend another one of Dr. Honeycutt’s workshops on teaching in the college classroom."  --Dr. Nisha Cavanaugh, Associate Director, Career Development & Postdoctoral Programs, Office of Education, Training, & International Services
