Professional Development & Consulting

Professional Development for Anatomy & Physiology Educators and Academic Leaders

Strengthen teaching, align learning experiences with meaningful outcomes, and support the educators who make science learning possible.

Royse Education Studio partners with departments, institutions, and education leaders to design professional development that is practical, evidence-informed, and grounded in the real challenges of teaching anatomy and physiology.

From teaching assistant training to curriculum design and program evaluation, workshops focus on helping educators build learning environments where students can engage deeply with scientific ideas.

Workshops & Training

All workshops can be delivered as virtual sessions, in-person events, or multi-session series, depending on the needs of your program.

Beyond Memorization: Teaching Anatomy & Physiology for Deep Understanding

1

For high school and college educators who want to bring the wonder of human biology to life in their classrooms. In this workshop, you'll explore practical strategies for designing lessons, cases, and assessments that help students think through biological systems beyond rote memorization.

Participants will:

  • Identify common learning barriers in anatomy and physiology

  • Explore approaches for building conceptual understanding of complex biological systems

  • Learn strategies for integrating case-based and applied learning

From Student to Educator: Preparing Graduate Teaching Assistants for the Classroom

2

Graduate teaching assistants play a central role in student learning, and deserve real preparation for that role. This workshop helps institutions support GTAs as developing educators by focusing on practical teaching strategies, student engagement, and confidence-building in the classroom or lab.

Participants will:

  • Develop foundational teaching practices for discussion sections and labs

  • Learn strategies for facilitating active learning and responding to common challenges

  • Connect teaching practice to their broader development as scholars

Build It Backwards: Designing Transformative Learning Experiences Using Logic Modeling

3

Great courses are intentionally designed around learning outcomes and applications that are relevant to students’ goals and lived experiences. This workshop helps educators use logic modeling as a complementary mechanism to backward design, aligning learning outcomes, activities, and assessments to the desired impact of a course in a students’ academic journey.

Participants will:

  • Clarify meaningful learning outcomes for their courses

  • Use logic models to map how learning experiences lead to outcomes

  • Identify opportunities to integrate real-world applications into course design

Your Workshop, Your Way

4

Every department and program faces different challenges. Royse Education Studio works with institutions to design custom workshops, faculty development sessions, and program consultations that respond to the needs of your educators and students.

Examples include:

  • Incorporating problem-based learning into course curriculum

  • Aligning curriculum across courses and programs

  • Integrating generative AI into teaching and evaluation
