Wisconsin Teaching Fellows

2004 Summer Institute

 

June 21 – June 25, 2004

Pyle Center, Madison, WI

 

 

 

 

Summer Institute is designed to provide an opportunity for intensive discussion and inquiry into teaching and learning.  We will work together to understand our teaching/learning histories and possibilities, the worlds of our students, and early-career faculty dilemmas.  Working within the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning perspective which values the understanding of teaching and student learning as scholarly work, we will collaborate to develop individual year-long projects.  We expect that you will come prepared to argue over the readings, play with new ideas, and help each other find creative approaches to teaching, learning, and career dilemmas.

 

            ***The readings in your SI packet and materials gathered at Faculty College

              will provide a common  background for our focus on teaching and learning.
