Listed below are professional enrichment opportunities at the local and national level related to teaching and learning in higher education. While the Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence does not "endorse" events outside ASU, this list is provided as a service to our teaching corps.
Teachers from higher learning institutions representing a variety of disciplines will gather in Arizona for a 5 day seminar that will greatly enrich classroom instruction and enhance tremendous personal growth. Participants will have the opportunity to learn from colleagues and outside experts in a retreat-like setting. The focus of discussion and activities for the entire week will be on innovations and practical exploration of ways to improve teaching.
The seminar will be limited to no more than 35 participants. Apply early to reserve a space and be part of this powerful experience. The seminar will be held at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, Arizona, May 18-22, 2008.

Teach@ASU, a component of New Faculty Orientation Week, focuses on teaching. Coordinated by ASU’s Center for Learning and Teaching Excellence, with participation from a range of university offices, this focus takes the form of workshops on a variety of teaching subjects such as the multicultural classroom, construction of a course syllabus, interactive lecturing, myASU (Blackboard), etc.
The day begins with faculty joining members of the Distinguished Teaching Academy for breakfast in the University Club for a discussion of the life of the teacher-scholar at ASU. Breakfast is followed by a series of concurrent workshops. Faculty members may attend selected workshops, or may attend for the entire day.
Registration for the breakfast and Teach@ASU workshops will open on this Web site in early June.
