-Identify ways to enhance student engagement in your classes
-Receive feedback from course facilitators and participants
-Benefit from in-depth conversations with fellow colleagues
-Arrange for individual consultation throughout the year with facilitators
-Each of the sessions will include a presentation and learning activities that reflect a particular theme.

Specific themes for the program will include:

-Planning effective instruction
-Exploring teaching methodologies
-Building effective assessment practices
-Managing the dynamics of both small and large classes
-Integrating various aspects of technology into courses
-Addressing issues of student diversity
-Examining issues around the evaluation of classroom teaching

The goal of the program is to provide participants with a safe and supportive environment to enhance their appreciation of sound pedagogy, strengthen their teaching skills and explore new approaches to instruction.
