2021 Teaching Discovery Days and Dinner
The College of Natural Sciences has held an annual Teaching Discovery Day since 2016 to showcase teaching excellence college-wide and encourage discussion among participants about best practices and new ideas in science education and learning.
This year, in keeping with a timely theme, Building a New Normal, the event will merge virtual and face-to-face activities. On November 8-9, 2021 participants will engage in-class observations, a poster session, teaching discussions and showcases, and close out the day with an outdoor reception together.
Topics to be covered include:
- integrating research on teaching and learning
- effective use of technology in teaching
- engaging TAs, UGTAs, and learning assistants
- building supportive communities
- student-centered strategies
The schedule will be published and registration for this special celebration of teaching will open in late October.
