You asked, and we deliver.

At the Teaching Professor Conference, we take attendee comments and suggestions to heart. Based on feedback from our 2005 event, we will be implementing the following initiatives for the 2006 Teaching Professor Conference:

A more in-depth, complex case study focusing on a topic that hits home for all of us … Straight Talk About Student Ratings. Hear first hand from a panel of students and veteran faculty members how student ratings can be used constructively and productively to improve teaching methodology.

  • This years’ case study will be provided to attendees in advance via our website
  • More structured discussions will be scheduled throughout conference for focused, in-depth discussions
  • Discussion sparks regarding the case will be provided for lunch discussions, at an “on your own” dinner sign-up, and at facilitated informal evening discussions

    All new workshops!
  • Over 50 brand-new workshops
  • More sessions
  • Larger rooms
  • More “How To” versus “This is What I’ve Done”
  • Topics that pertain to all disciplines
  • Programming relevant to community colleges and four-year institutions
