10th Annual Teaching and Learning Symposium

May 7, 2008 by Lisa Jansen

Several LSS staff will be participating in the 10th Annual Teaching & Learning Symposium May 21-23 at the Pyle Center.

The annual Teaching & Learning Symposium brings together all of us—faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students—to share best practices, celebrate accomplishments, discuss new teaching pedagogy, and explore themes of mutual interest.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the symposium, and its theme celebrates that milestone: "Shaping our Future: Teaching and Learning at UW–Madison." Symposium participants will explore both what is enduring about teaching and learning at UW–Madison, and what has dramatically changed.

Issues to be discussed are

• the lasting values that frame our teaching
• changes in what represents pedagogical innovation (and what the future might bring)
• revolutionary technological changes
• dramatic ways in which our students have changed, and learn.

LSS staff participate in Symposium activities to share ideas and interact with other faculty and staff who are passionate about teaching and learning. We often return to LSS energized with new ideas and connections made at the event.

We look forward to seeing many of our L&S colleagues at the Symposium. For more information and registration, please see http://www.learning.wisc.edu/tlsymposium/
