The Faculty Development Office invites you to UPEI's annual Let’s Talk Teaching Day on Tuesday, September 5, 2017 in the Heath Sciences Building Rm. 104 at 11:30.

This year's topics examine the rapidly changing student body at UPEI, and how classrooms are more diverse than they were 10 years ago. Do we have a responsibility to know that — and address it: in short, to "size up our classrooms?" If so, how do we take those changes into consideration in our classes? In curriculum and content? In delivery and classroom practices? In assessment and evaluation exercises? In classroom discussions and expectations of student and faculty behaviours?

These topics will be discussed in large and small groups, with the goal of ending the day with a wider conception of what an “inclusive classroom” might look like and how we might work toward it. Please come at 11:30 for pizza; after lunch, we will get down to work and aim to finish somewhere around 4:00. We look forward to seeing you – all faculty and staff are welcome!

Questions may be directed to Gerald Wandio at fdo@upei.ca or (902) 620-5217.
