Registration 8 - 9 am
Program 9 am - 3:30 pm
Gaiser Student Center
(PUB Student Lounge for PUB 258 rooms for Breakout Sessions)
The first day of Faculty Focus will look to the future while examining current best
practices. Clark College experts will engage faculty in roundtable
discussions of their choice in breakout sessions throughout the day. Open Course Library, Alternative Textbooks,
Classroom Management, Pedagogical use of Technology, Learning Communities and
Power, Privilege and Inequality in the Classroom are among the topics that are structured to compel
active participation and exchange of ideas.
Between sessions, faculty members
are encouraged to visit satellite stations in the PUB Student Lounge to learn about new programs
throughout the college that will affect students, faculty and staff. A final
wrap-up in Gaiser Student Center will allow the entire group to hear summaries of the discussions
they were not able to attend and get a preview of the Outcomes Assessment planning activities for the following day. The questions and ideas that arise from today's sessions will shape the focus of Faculty Development workshops and
training in 2012-13.
