TCC: Call for Proposals for the June Teaching & Learning Conference

The deadline for submitting proposals for the TCC's annual Teaching & Learning Conference is approaching! 

We are accepting proposals from faculty and staff for presentations/workshops that highlight your excellent work with students in and out of the classroom. Presentations should in any way address the following broad questions: 

  • What does an asset-based approach to students (and colleagues) look like in your classrooms, offices, departments, and disciplines--and how might others apply it to their own contexts?  

  • Which teaching practices, curricular designs, assessment models, organizational frameworks, etc., best counteract the damages of a deficit-model of education? 

  • What does a shift from a deficit-model to a strengths-model enable, in terms of engagement and connection? 

Presentations can be in-person, remote, hybrid, or pre-recorded for asynchronous viewing. They can be solo or group endeavors. Your proposal should include a working title and a brief description of the session’s topic(s) and aims. Please submit your proposal for the June Teaching & Learning Conference.

If you do not want to present in a standalone session, but would be willing to participate in an opening panel session with other colleagues about strengths-based, equity-minded practices, there is a place to indicate so on the form. 

Proposals will be accepted now through March 17, by 5:00 PM.
