Portfolio Workshop
Thursday, May 6, 12:30-3:30 or
Thursday, May 13, 9:00-noon
Lindell Library 202
The purpose of this workshop is to help candidates determine the various forms of evidence that can help build a strong portfolio. The focus is on evidence of teaching, but the strategies directly apply to scholarship and service as well. This workshop is not designed to replace departmental guidance and advice nor is it an analysis of the Handbook language as it applies to an individual; it does not represent the views of the CTP committee. Rather, this is a long standing CTL opportunity to help support candidates' preparation and is one that many colleagues have found to be useful. Facilitated by Diane Pike.
RSVP to martin@augsburg.edu or x1229.
Faculty Scholarship Display

The Center for Teaching and Learning will be having a Faculty scholarship display at the Faculty Recognition Luncheon on Thursday, April 29 and you are invited to participate.
