Focus on Teaching Week: October 6 to 10, 2014

This fall, CTE is offering nine workshops over five days during our annual "Focus on Teaching Week." For Waterloo instructors, this provides an opportunity to explore ideas and strategies pertaining to teaching in a more sustained and purposeful way. 

The week will include some of CTE's most popular workshops, as well as new ones such as Teaching Bottlenecks and Threshold Concepts, Assessing the Flipped Classroom, Assessing Case-Based Learning, and Big Questions: Active Learning in Large Classes.

Special guests include Clare Bermingham and Judi Jewinski who will present on Working with TAs: Training in Writing Assessment; Jill Tomasson Goodwin, Scott O'Neill, and Rhiannon Ball on High Quality High Impact Practices; and SFU's Nancy Johnston on Describing, Supporting, and Assessing International Experiential Learning.
