DCAL’s Learning Community for Future Faculty - Critical Moments for Students
Monday, July 10, noon-1:30, DCAL, 102 Baker Library
Register: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2697938

Join us for a lunch discussion of case stories based on Dartmouth students. What are critical moments for students? What can instructors do?

In order to cultivate a community focused on teaching and learning amongst graduate students and postdocs, DCAL has established a Learning Community for Future Faculty (LCFF). The focus of this group is to share the rewards and challenges of college teaching, while digging a bit deeper into best practices and techniques for teaching or related career issues. The LCFF meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month. Let us know if you'd like to facilitate!
