Are you putting together your packet for promotion and tenure? Do you want to enhance your vitae in a quick and easy way? Attending the faculty development workshops on Wednesday, March 23 is a great way. Bob Noyd will be giving three interactive sessions in the Spindletop Room of Gray Library beginning at 9:05 a.m. You still have time to register. Understanding educational pedagogy is key to becoming the teacher you always wanted to be and this event provides the necessary avenue. With finals a little over six weeks away, now would be a great time to conduct a student Small Group Analysis (SGA). A CTLE consultant would be happy to meet with your students to collect their thoughts about your class. After the comments are collected and processed, we meet with you to discuss the student responses and suggest some possible enhancements. An SGA can provide valuable insight into what students think is working well in the classroom. All consultations are held confidential so please contact CTLE to begin the process. It can make all the difference in your end-of-semester evaluation rating. When black students reflected on the idea that everybody, regardless of race or ethnicity, initially struggles to adjust to college, their academic performance and longer-term well-being benefited, according to a paper published in the journal Science by Gregory M. Walton and Geoffrey L. Cohen. The paper is a nice read in preparation of the visit by Dr. Becky Cox, who will be at LU on April 15.
