Hello,

SCC is hosting its second annual Teaching & Learning Conference April 20 and 21, 2017.  We are calling for session proposals. All employees are welcome to present at a session!

The focus will be high engagement practices with students in both the classroom and 1:1 environment.

·         Is there an area of interest you are just dying to let more people know about. Maybe around assessment, teaching and learning, building community, college readiness and success, online experience, student experience – you name it – we probably want to know more!

·         Want to build community within our own community of SCC employees? Interested in hosting an informal conversation about a particular practice or quandary?

If one or more of those bullets peak your interest – you may want to consider presenting solo or join with others to offer dynamic opportunity for learning!
