Let’s Talk Teaching Day 2019: Obstacles to Teaching: Hidden and Visible
10:00 am to 3:00 pm, Tuesday, September 3
HSB 104
Teaching is thrilling, scary, challenging, and rewarding. Everybody does it differently; however, in any institution, we are all bound by certain rules, restrictions, guidelines, obligations, and constraints. We're aware of them, but we don’t necessarily acknowledge and discuss them, foreground them as obstacles to teaching the way we really want to. What kind of classroom are you in – a tiered lecture theatre or a small room with moveable tables and chairs? What time of day do you teach? How long are your classes? How do you use technology – and does it usually work? Are your classrooms too hot or too cold, too bright or too dark? Join us at Let’s Talk Teaching Day to discuss these and other questions about matters that affect us every day of the academic year. Lunch and snacks will be provided, and you don’t need to register – just show up!
