Join the Center for Teaching Excellence for this workshop with Chavella T. Pittman.
Faculty should bring their teaching materials to this hands-on workshop. In it, we’ll examine ways faculty can reduce teaching overwhelm so there is “space” for restoration. We’ll also examine ways to insert teaching joy into some (not all) of the space we’ve newly freed in our teaching. At the end of this workshop, participants will have ideas on how they can teach well while still having time/energy/focus for the other important things in their life.
