Discussions/Workshops
The Center for Teaching and Learning strives to provide opportunities for BGSU educators to discuss learning-centered, integrative teaching. We hope that through Center participation, each educator can develop more pedagogical “capital.” We sincerely invite you to join our community of learners by registering for the discussions/workshops listed below.
We have organized our collaborative “curriculum” under five main categories: Assessment, Best Practices for Enhancing Student Well-being, Foundations of Learner-centered Teaching, Learner-centered Pedagogies, and Technology and Practices to Support Student Learning.
