Focus on Teaching and Learning: January 2019
Focus on Teaching & Learning
January 2019
How do you and your faculty and staff colleagues animate and bring to life Loyola’s mission through your support of our students’ learning? How does Loyola’s mission influence your strategies for how you teach, design courses, and/or develop student learning and formation? Please join us at the January Focus on Teaching and Learning (FOTL) event, Loyola’s semi-annual educational development program to build capacity and enhance teaching and learning strategies for Loyola’s faculty and staff educators.
Join us in sharing what you are doing, how it is working, and what you would like to explore further. Let’s generate more dialogue and build our professional communities of practice around teaching and learning!
FOTL is facilitated in August and January by co-sponsoring offices that support and implement resources for teaching and learning at Loyola. FOTL takes place on January 9, 2019 on the Water Tower campus in Schreiber Center from 9:30am-4:30pm.
Please be sure to register for FOTL.
