Responses from previous participants have been extremely positive. I'm inspired to continue to take teaching seriously. I'm reassured that there are other faculty who struggle and succeed. The connections I made with faculty across the campus are invaluable. I've never met such a group of committed and creative teachers.
All faculty members are eligible and welcome to apply.
The deadline for applications for the Institute is 5 p.m., January 19, 2001. More importantly, I learned that I have colleagues throughout the UW system who are deeply devoted to quality teaching and learning. The contents I have established will be followed up and developed - classroom observation, sharing of materials, guest lectures, etc. The most important thing about this week for me was to be able to spend quality time with some new colleagues focused on teaching and learning. There is no right answer - many.
