It is the 30th anniversary of the Center for Teaching Excellence at IUP! For three decades, the CTE has encouraged faculty to share “Good Talk About Good Teaching,” generally over good food! To celebrate our history we are putting together a 30th Anniversary Volume that will benefit colleagues in the future and we need your help!
Please submit a teaching tip that helps you teach better, a hack that makes you more effective or efficient or otherwise supports your academic productivity, or a favorite recipe that helps you get through the year.
Your submission can be a few lines or a few pages. We want to include your best practices and best recipes in 30th anniversary volume to be published in April 2020.
Submissions are due by March 1, 2020 in Microsoft Word format. Send to CTE-anniversary@iup.edu
If you have questions, please contact Theresa McDevitt at mcdevitt@iup.edu.
Consider using the following outline, but also feel free to use your own format:
