Presenter: Cynthia Phillips, Center for Teaching and Learning

This workshop is designed to explore basic issues in teaching at the college level: course planning, student engagement, and classroom management. While the program may be particularly useful for those who have less experience in the classroom—new full-time faculty, new adjuncts, and administrators teaching for the first time – experienced faculty have also enjoyed and benefited from this introduction to pedagogy. Conversations on Teaching is a great way to begin the semester as there is always something new to learn about teaching, especially given the exciting new findings about cognition, innovative approaches to teaching, and the ever evolving uses of technology in the classroom.

We will begin with a light breakfast and lunch will also be served.
