The
Faculty Teaching and Learning Seminar, established in fall
2001, will be offered again during the spring 2002 semester.
The seminar demonstrates teaching pedagogy and supporting
materials that promote effective teaching and student learning.
Content for the course is drawn from an outstanding web site
built and maintained by SBCC faculty. This web site, www.4sbccfaculty.org
, is an extremely rich repository of teaching strategies shared
by SBCC faculty, many of whom have exceptional expertise in
their areas of specialization. Participating in the seminar
is the best way
|
|
to
explore the wealth of material on this web site. The seminar
is delivered in a face to face format
on successive Fridays
(2 - 4 p.m., beginning February 1, 2002) and features many interactive
activities which actively involve the participants in their
own learning. Besides presenting a wealth of educational materials
the seminar allows faculty to interact and share experiences
and materials, resulting in the formation of a strong bond between
the participants.
Faculty
who would like to attend the entire seminar of twelve Fridays
are eligible for a stipend, but those faculty who would rather
attend specific lessons of interest are encouraged to do so
on a voluntary basis.

Participant
Comments
"All
of the classes have added, in varying degrees, ideas that
I have and will incorporate in my classes. In particular,
I have implemented cooperative learning activities in my classes,
and Margaret Prothero's wealth of ideas has inspired me to
be more creative."
"I
loved the presentations by Margaret Prothero; she got my creative
juices flowing! I can't believe I am saying this, but I also
will use the online syllabus maker with all of my classes,...I
think it could be a resource for our department for getting
syllabi online."
