Teaching the Way the Mind Works
If you only attend one Faculty Center event this year, make it this one!
Friday, Feb. 22, 2013, 1-4 pm, in Ursa Minor in the BSC
Dr. Linda Nilson of Clemson University presents a wonderful, hands-on, lively, and chock-full-of-ideas workshop. Using the latest findings from cognitive science, she will lead us through planning effective teaching strategies for classes and other learning situations.
Don't miss this one! Limited to 200 people -- sounds like a lot, but is not! So, register early by clicking the big green button above!
The 16th CSU Symposium for University Teaching
Teaching for High Impact: Deep and Engaged Learning
Friday & Saturday, Feb. 22 & 23, 2013, CSU Maritime
The Faculty Center has limited funds to support a few faculty to attend the classic CSU faculty conference. This time, it's extra special because for the first time ever, we're visiting CSU Maritime! We might even get a tour of the training ship Golden Bear!
Please see the conference website for more information: https://www.csum.edu/web/teaching-symposium-16/home
and contact Dr. Victoria Bhavsar (vbhavsar@csupomona.edu) if you are interested in attending.
Yes, this one conflicts with Linda Nilson. Sorry about that -- but if you can't go to the CSU Symposium, then Dr. Nilson's workshop is a great choice.
Quality Online Learning & Teaching (QOLT)
The QOLT program is a CSU-wide effort to acknowledge excellence and share effective practice by identifying top-quality hybrid and online courses. Faculty self-nominate their own courses, using the rigorous QOLT rubric.
To participate:
• Visit the QOLT website at qolt.ecatalst.org .
• Identify the Fall 2012 hybrid or online course that you want to self-nominate. Go to http://ecatalst.org/our-services/qolt/evaluation-instruments to complete your course rubric by January 20, 2013.
• Ask your students to complete the Student Course Experience Survey at http://ecatalst.org/our-services/qolt/evaluation-instruments. These student data are not shared outside of the QOLT evaluation process. These evaluations are NOT official student evaluations. They are CONFIDENTIAL within the QOLT program .
For more information and for support participating, please contact April McKettrick ( admckettrick@csupomona.edu ) or Victoria Bhavsar ( vbhavsar@csupomona.edu ).
