Teaching Essentials for the 21st Century:  New ideas and fresh approaches to enduring practices in the higher education classroom.

December 15 (Reading Day)
8:30 – 4PM
Rondileau Campus Center (RCC) Large Ballroom and Maxwell Library

Program

As we prepare ourselves for the regular end-of-semester crush, I encourage you to set aside all or part of reading day to focus on your own professional growth and development.  Join us on December 15 (Reading Day), from 8:30 – 4PM to think about and explore new strategies to improve your teaching practice. 

This is an entirely BSU faculty-facilitated event.  Spend the whole day – we’re offering six concurrent sessions – or stop in for a few workshops.   

For Part-Time Faculty Only!
