The first annual conference was hosted by the Commission on College Teaching and the Assessment Commission and provided faculty with a great professional development opportunity that supported student learning through collaboration with fellow Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Tech faculty. Faculty brought an assignment to develop further, and partook in great food, excellent conversation, and inspiring ideas.
The Faculty Development Pre-Convocation Workshop asked faculty if they wanted students to:
- Ask meaningful questions and use evidence to support conclusions?
- Produce and use quantitative information in many contexts?
- Understand and respond to the diverse perspectives of others?
