SUNY Faculty Development Conference: Teaching & Learning for Student Success Virtual Conference
The SUNY Faculty Development Conference is sponsored by the SUNY Faculty Development Community of Practice which brings together educational professional development staff and faculty throughout SUNY, with a particular emphasis on teaching and learning. This group creates opportunities for staff and faculty to learn about available SUNY resources to support teaching and learning and strengthen our professional networks. The audience for the conference includes those working in faculty development roles as well as faculty.
“Teaching and Learning for Student Success” defined broadly to include:
- Achieving course and program learning outcomes
- Engaging in curricular and co-curricular activities
- Student access, retention, and completion strategies
- Using technology in both face-to-face and online courses to improve learning
- Supporting, learning from, and including diverse populations on our campuses. Diverse populations include but are not limited to nontraditional and first-generation students, students with disabilities, students of color, students from underrepresented groups, international students, LGBTQ+ students, religion, socioeconomic status, and gender.
- Implementing innovative pedagogical strategies to move beyond remediation and help students overcome bottlenecks or threshold concepts in their coursework
Sessions will focus on professional development programs implemented on campuses, teaching and learning strategies, or research in one of these areas. Theses engaging sessions will address ways we can meet the needs of all students, staff, and faculty and thereby strengthen our institutions and communities.
