Educate • Engage • Inspire

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

The best professors know…
Ask any educator dedicated to teaching and learning and they’ll tell you the keys to success include three things:
Education — They search out new pedagogical practices that work.
Engagement — They meet and network with colleagues who share the commitment to teaching and learning excellence.
Inspiration — They do what it takes to ensure that their teaching remains fresh and invigorated.

Your Department Head, Dean, or Academic VP should send you to The Teaching Professor Conference because …

• It's a great way to go beyond lip service and demonstrate support of teaching.
• It's an event that inspires faculty. All teachers need a lift like that every now and then, especially after they've taught faithfully for a number of years.
• It's an event where teachers learn—about the pedagogical practices that work, about relevant research and about how students learn.
• It's a way to reward a special effort, like curriculum development, preparation for accreditation, a new program for first year students, etc.

Are you ready to educate, engage, and inspire?
