Teaching and Learning

Teach a Keystone? We Need Your Ideas

All faculty and staff are invited to a workshop and discussion on Keystone courses and their relationship to the College's mission.

Wednesday, January 9 * 11 -1 p.m. * Lindell 301 * Lunch provided

A group of faculty who teach KEY 490 (Business and Religion) have been working this fall to refine the learning objectives for Keystone courses, reflect on its alignment with the College's mission, and assemble helpful readings, assignments, and classroom exercises. Your input is needed!

If you teach a Keystone course or have interest in doing so, please join us for this conversation about updating our approach to the Keystone. It will present a draft of the revised learning outcomes, feature short presentations about successful assignments, and invite your ideas about creating a productive learning experience.

To reserve a lunch, RSVP to Jacqueline deVries, Director of General Education, by January 7, 2013
