Date and Time: October 1, 2009 - 3:30pm - 4:00pm

This series of workshops will introduce and foster discussion about theories of best practice across the pedagogical spectrum. Peer conversations and exercises will help focus instructors on how to successfully apply best practice theory to curriculum design, student assessment, program evaluation and professional development as an educator. The workshops are designed to build on one another, but prior attendance or attendance at all four is not required or necessary.
Session I: Outcomes and Objectives
