Dear Colleagues,

I’m writing to remind you about our upcoming Faculty Teaching Workshop on Monday, August 5, 9:00 a.m.-noon, in room 114 of the Business Administration Building.  The workshop is co-sponsored by Academic Affairs and the Center for Collaborative Learning.  It will focus on utilizing effective and creative tools in the classroom, with a particular emphasis on collaborative learning.  

If you are planning to attend the workshop, please rsvp me directly at sandersc@uah.edu.

Dr. Brad Garner, Ph.D., the Director of Faculty Enrichment at Indiana Wesleyan University, will be serving as our facilitator.  I had the pleasure of attending Dr. Garner’s session at a National Conference on the First-Year Experience in the spring, which was entitled Teachapalooza 2019: A Festival of Bedazzling Strategies, Tools and Tactics.  It was both inspiring and practical, perfect for relatively new faculty, as well as for more experienced faculty, in learning about a variety of the most effective teaching strategies that can be employed in the classroom.  

Both full and part-time are invited to attend the workshop.  I am specifically requesting the assistance of chairs in forwarding this invitation to part-time faculty.

I look forward to seeing you there, 

Carolyn Sanders, D.M.

Professor of Music
Director, FYE Course
