Provisions Series for Teaching and Learning

Provisions is a monthly faculty development series dedicated to exploring, publicizing, and disseminating innovative teaching and learning across the disciplines. Its mission is to recognize positive, pro-active, student-centered pedagogies and to value teaching as an endeavor that requires ongoing inquiry and reflection. Provisions seeks out exemplary and experimental approaches to student learning from every department and office in an effort to support an on-going, campus-wide dialogue about the challenges and opportunities of an ever-changing educational landscape. Grounded in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, the series strives to foster, promote, and sustain an institutional culture committed to life-long learning and dynamic pedagogical engagement.

This lunchtime professional development series is sponsored by The College’s Office of the Provost.
