One Day Workshop on Teaching Philosophy
PITTSBURGH, PA
The American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT)
“To Improve The Quality Of Instruction In Philosophy At All Levels”
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Location: Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA
Date: Saturday, October 1, 2022
Time: 8:30am – 5pm
Seminar Leaders: John Koolage, Eastern Michigan University
Alida Liberman, Southern Methodist University
Andrew P. Mills, Otterbein University
Application Deadline: Wednesday, September 14
Description
Participants will read some of the best literature regarding how learning
happens, how to design maximally effective courses, and how to improve
classroom practice. The workshop is designed to enhance participants’
ability to make highly effective pedagogical choices that enable all
students to flourish. The interactive sessions provide opportunities for
participants to reflect with colleagues on how to individualize
evidence-based best teaching practices to their own idiosyncratic teaching
contexts and their own understanding about what matters most for inclusive
pedagogy. Participants will learn how to identify and select challenging,
transformative, and inclusive learning objectives and how to design and
assess sequences of learning activities to make the achievement of those
goals highly likely. The friendships and collegial relationships begun here
can last a lifetime.

in substantial ways”
“Inspiring, fascinating, and incredibly helpful”
“There wasn't a minute wasted in the workshop”
“A must for anyone who cares about students”
“An intensive boot-camp for learner-centered education”

most graduate students get”
