Road Trip To Omaha, Nebraska

Today I will be facilitating a faculty development workshop at the College of Saint Mary in Omaha. We will be discussing how to set class expectations on the first day of class, how to "sell your class to the students," and how to handle challenging students.

I'm looking forward to it.

 

Road Trip (Again) To Nebraska

I'm big in Lincoln, Nebraska. Just saying :)  And I always enjoy going back to the midwest. I spent 18 years at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, so it seems like going home.

I'm leaving today to teach my third faculty development workshop in Lincoln, this time at Union College. In addition to topics of teaching effectiveness and classroom management, I'll discuss a number of creative educational technology tools that can be used in the classroom.

I'm looking forward to it.

Road Trip To Boston

I'm off to Boston to teach a faculty development workshop for dental health educators. This Summer Boot Camp provides professional education emphasizing clinical competence as well as classroom management in order to help educators become more effective instructors. Here's more info in their April 2010 newsletter.

I'm looking forward to it.
