August Teaching Workshop -
Resources, Actions, and Attitudes for Success
This year the CPSE hosted the
first annual August Teaching Workshop for first- and
second-year faculty. This well-attended event
focused on providing resources, suggesting actions,
and reinforcing faculty attitudes conducive to
student learning and to long-term career
development. Highlights of the workshop included a
‘Family Feud’-style game in which participants
predicted how Rose-Hulman students would answer a
variety of questions, videotaping short practice
lectures for review and discussion with mentors, and
a good deal of camaraderie. Attendees received a
workshop binder containing resources for further
learning, a copy of Robert Boice’s highly-regarded
book, Advice for New Faculty, and an
excellent introduction to the community of talented,
passionate educators at Rose-Hulman.
We thank all of our workshop
presenters and participants!
