Forums and Workshops
How can we best help
students learn? How can we foster higher levels of student
achievement? How can we plan and execute the best courses?
The Center promotes an ongoing
discussion about teaching and learning matters, striving both to
facilitate that conversation and to contribute to it
intellectually. It seeks primarily to treat teaching as scholarship, as serious intellectual work
that is as important as the research that faculty members produce, and
to think of college courses as windows on the way professors define and
practice their disciplines.
That conversation explores the meaning of learning and how best to foster it. It probes the
research and theoretical literature on human learning and encourages an
exchanges of ideas among faculty members from across the university.
The Center offers a variety of forums and workshops to help professors
and graduate teaching assistants explore the implications of important
theoretical and research literature on human learning and teaching as
they grapple with these questions.
The Center will work with departments and schools to develop and offer programs that meet the
specific needs of their faculty members or graduate teaching assistants.
