Welcome to the second posting of our Professional Development Series (PDS) for the 2009-2010 academic year. The objective is to offer a new topic for our PDS each trimester. This year's topics were generated from the data collected through our professional development survey from last spring. The three items that the faculty wanted to explore the most included: Gender Differences (Peg Tyre follow-up), 21st Century Teaching and Learning (inclusive of technology), and Learning Through Our School Visits (to be our Professional Development Day on April 30).
In addition to taking on these three areas, we wanted to offer this next wiki as a way for the faculty to access and share information related to great resources, current events articles in education, upcoming workshops, findings of educational researchers, recognizing faculty members who are conducting professional development, getting published, and otherwise becoming more involved in areas related to teaching and learning.
Please view the links listed in the margin on the right side of this page.Please help to fill them in! If you've never used a wiki before, don't stress--it's not that hard, and it's a great skill to learn right now. Please feel free to add or suggest additional pages as well. You can keep yourself informed by using the "notify me" tab at the top of each page. You can keep track of individual page edits, of individual discussions updates, or of the website as a whole--either by email or by RSS feed.
