The Great Teachers Summit has become a common practice in many colleges and universities in over 18 states and internationally. The recent Spori Summit provided a great opportunity to share teaching successes, present teaching challenges and work together in offering solutions to those challenges. Participants were divided into small groups to share and discuss ideas. General sessions encouraged more participation and sharing of ideas from the small groups. Object lessons and demonstrations presented by each individual highlighted the Summit.
Participants find the experience rewarding.
