"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
What is this Seminar all About?
This long-running seminar provides an opportunity to network with colleagues and experience a variety of teaching and learning strategies. The facilitator uses a collaborative approach to model various teaching techniques and create a collegial environment. Whether you are new to teaching or have taught for a long time, you won't want to miss this unique learning experience!
"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, Faculty, Social Science

conception of teaching as a skill that needs constant improvement was
validated."
- Mary Brown, Science

"Until now, I sort of thought that lecture was the way to teach college and
that anything else was just 'touchy-feely' hokum. I certainly have a new
view on teaching. I think my conversion was due in large part to the way the
class was conducted, in that you practiced what you preached."
