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!
