"Teaching is a process of becoming that continues throughout life, never
achieved, never completely denied. This is the challenge and the fun of
being a teacher, "there is no ultimate end to the process."
- Francis Mayforth
"The seminar was the best and most productive time I've ever spent with
academic colleagues discussing teaching and pedagogy. I suggest to any
faculty who haven't taken this seminar, that it is the best investment you
can make in your own teaching, regardless of how much or how little you have
taught before."
- James Luke, Economics
This seminar provides an opportunity to...
- Connect with other faculty to share teaching ideas and challenges
- Experience various teaching and learning strategies
- Apply new learning techniques in a collegial environment
A collaborative approach is used to model various teaching and learning strategies and create a faculty learning community. Whether you are new to teaching, or have taught for a long tmie, you won't want to miss this unique experience!
Some session topics are selected by participants.
Popular topics have included:
- Learning from the Learners (LCC students participate in this session)
- Preventing and Addressing Classroom Incivility
- Small Group Learning
- Making Lectures More Interactive
- How Students Learn
"So often we are so intent about the business of gaining and maintaining
professional expertise or clinical competency that we fail to devote sufficient
effort to maximizing and re-energizing our teaching effectiveness. The 12-week
seminar is a brilliant opportunity to validate present education strategies,
enhance one's teaching repertoire, and initiate new relationships with peers
in other disciplines. There is even one session where teachers learn what
works from students. I truly wish the seminar was 24 or 36 weeks."
- Richard Freedberg, Nursing

What Your Colleagues Have Said About This Seminar
"Initially, I was hesitant to take the seminar, afraid it might be too
theoretical without any direct application ... But from the very first session,
you set me straight! In every session I learned something that I will use to
be a better (more effective) teacher.""
- Mobashera Hallam, Developmental Math
"...rediscovering my passion for teaching. That is what was lost and what
was found in this seminar … This is where you can connect with the college
and really feel like a part of it. This seminar is refreshing, inspiring and
validating."
- Gina Przybyl, Community Health Service Education
