AUDIENCE: Faculty members, instructors, TAs/TMs, graduate students, staff in instructional roles
Description
TLC will continue hosting the Art of Teaching DVD and Dialogue Series in fall 2012. We have chosen to screen three episodes of the acclaimed films “The Art of Teaching: Best Practices from a Master Educator.”
In each 30-minute episode, award-winning Professor Patrick N. Allitt helps you develop and enhance your teaching style; provides you with invaluable methods, tools, and advice for handling all manner of teaching scenarios; and demonstrates how other teachers—and their students—think about and approach this life-changing profession.
Please bring your lunch, enjoy the show, and participate in a discussion moderated by award-winning SFU instructors and TLC educational consultants.
As part of the TLC’s commitment to fostering a positive community and culture around teaching and learning, we invite you to continue providing us with feedback about this project. This will help us to prepare and improve future offerings of the program.
