The 2005 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Showcase is scheduled for Tuesday, April 19, 2:30-5:00 p.m. The Showcase will take place in Mary Gates Commons, and will provide you with opportunities to interact with instructors who are actively engaged in examining teaching and learning in their disciplines.

The 2005 Showcase will feature Roundtable Discussions and Poster Sessions representing the work of 45 Faculty and TAs from 22 departments and programs on all three UW campuses. You are invited to visit the Showcase and see what your UW colleagues have been discovering about teaching and learning.

The Showcase is hosted by by the Faculty Council on Instructional Quality, the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Forum, the Teaching Academy, and the Center for Instructional Development and Research.
