Teaching and Learning Symposium call for proposals

The Ninth Annual Teaching and Learning Symposium is a two-day event for faculty, staff, postdoctoral and graduate students aimed at improving the quality of teaching and learning.

The sponsors seek proposals for sessions that explore ways teachers can offer all students an enriched learning experience. Examples of topics include, but are not limited to:

• using the world outside the campus as a classroom
• successful models of enriched, experiential teaching and learning as a part of undergraduate, graduate and professional education
• models of enriched learning in particular disciplinary/interdisciplinary contexts
• inclusive teaching practices to engage diverse students in enriched, experiential learning
• models for expanding the content of courses to include broader aspects of diversity
• using technology to enhance learning
• assessment of learning and the ways it can be used to enrich students’ learning experiences

Sessions will be 60 minutes and can be presentations with discussions, panels or roundtable discussions. Submit a proposal online. For questions, contact Laurie Mayberry at 262-5246 or mayberry@wisc.edu. Deadline for submissions is Jan. 16.
