Teaching and Learning

Portfolio Workshop CORRECTION for Locations

Portfolio Workshop

Thursday, May 13, 9:00-noon
NOTE: Oren Gateway 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.

A link to May workshops is available at http://web.augsburg.edu/academicaffairs/MayWorkshop2010

TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator

Black graphing calculator in good condition. I never use it, so maybe someone who is more into math and science could use it? I am asking $50 for it, I don't have the connection cord that came with it, but I still have the instruction manual! Please contact Melissa Monson.
