We are looking forward to a great day of workshops and discussions on teaching, learning, and professional development issues across the disciplines. The event will begin with a plenary session in which a panel of faculty members discuss how they transcend the four walls of the classroom in their teaching practices, and will feature Nancy Chick (English), Sharon Shields (Human & Organizational Development), and Barb Stengel (Teaching & Learning). Participants then select workshops in three sequential sessions. Workshops include:
- Grading Efficiently: Finding the Time to Grade Fairly
- Flipping the Classroom
- Teaching with Case Studies
- Making Discussions Safe
- Writing in the STEM Classroom
- Beyond Templates: Effective Powerpoint Design
- Transitioning to Professorship: Teaching Statements and Portfolios

- Finding Teaching Moments in the Field: Learner-centered Field Research Programs
- Adding Spatial Dimensions to Teaching
- Social Pedagogies: Motivating Students through Social Media and Authentic Audiences
Graduate Student Teaching Event for Professional Development (GradSTEP) is co-sponsored by the Graduate Student Council and the Center for Teaching.
