The Wakonse Foundation brings together people who find inspiring and influencing others is what they do for a living. We create a climate where it is important and appropriate to display and discuss teaching talents . P articipants at Wakonse Conferences on College Teaching return to their campuses to share and promote the excitement of teaching. They call themselves Wakonse Fellows. A fellows program can help a campus focus and enhance its teaching mission.
Teaching is magic stuff . . .
Participants become Wakonse Fellows. That means, in the simplest of terms, to support, promote and share the excitement and satisfaction of teaching - to inspire others and ourselves. The Program Take everyone away from campus, from their phones, from offices and professional obligations. Prepare them for full days of workshop activities exploring teaching through highly interactive large and small group presentations, discussion groups and hands-on experiential sessions. Many informal opportunities for support and networking occur as participants become acquainted and share their talents and experiences with each other.
