The Teaching Professor Conference

May 20-22, 2011 • The Sheraton Atlanta Hotel • Atlanta, GA.

Hello Friends and Colleagues!

We would love to have you join us for the 8th Teaching Professor Conference, May 20-22, 2011 in Atlanta, GA. This three-day conference is packed with events designed to enrich your teaching practice. There are plenary sessions keynoted by nationally-recognized experts, carefully selected concurrent sessions on a range of relevant topics, round table discussions, posters and all sorts of opportunities for informal interaction.

But as educational as this event is, what faculty members tell us makes the conference memorable is the energy that surrounds its activities. Faculty members attend because they care about teaching. With over 700 attendees who are all interested in teaching that promotes learning, there’s an enthusiasm that’s infectious. Participants willingly share ideas, insights, experiences, information and resources. They raise issues and ask questions as they explore topics in sessions, between them and over meals. The conference makes possible the kind of collegial exchange that supports and invigorates teachers.

Do consider attending – whether it’s for the first time or as a “regular.” At the conference, you’ll learn with colleagues from across disciplines and around the country. They teach at all kinds of institutions and share a commitment to helping today’s college students learn well.

I’m hoping I’ll see you at the next Teaching Professor Conference!
