In our perpetual effort to provide a better, more accessible education, our [Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL)](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/academic-affairs-division/center-teaching-and-learning) sponsored a Show & Tell in one of our Active Learning Classrooms in the newly renovated portion of Thompson Hall yesterday afternoon. An Active Learning Classroom is designed to invite flexible teaching and experimentation in pedagogy, configured to maximize active, collaborative learning and multimodal teaching, in contrast with traditional lecture-style classrooms. Drs. [Jannette McMenamy](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/jannette-mcmenamy), [J.J. Silvia](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/jj-sylvia-iv), [Elise Takehana](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/elisabet-takehana), [Kisha Tracy](https://www.fitchburgstate.edu/academics/faculty-profiles/kisha-tracy) present how they are currently utilizing the Active Learning Classrooms.
