On April 9, 2021, the Padrón Campus will host the Teaching and Learning Symposium. This event was born when three departments—the Faculty Institute of Teaching and Learning, the Honors College, and the School of Education, joined forces providing a forum for faculty and students to share with the larger campus community the great work produced throughout the academic year. Today, the symposium is an annual event that celebrates teaching and learning, providing a space for faculty and students to showcase innovative, creative and diverse curricular and co-curricular activities that shape classrooms and workspaces of today and of the future. The symposium:

• Celebrates innovation in teaching and learning;
• Promotes novel and unique uses of technology;
• Facilitates new approaches and methods for helping students learn how to learn and take ownership of their learning;
• Highlights successful teaching practices that enrich student learning experiences promotes deep learning, metacognition, and inspires critical inquiry;
• Engages the campus community in conversations around the use of active, transformative, and inclusive teaching practices; and
• Support and encourage ingenuity and forward-thinking.

The symposium provides an opportunity for colleagues across campus to engage in thoughtful conversations about teaching and learning practices that are effective in transforming the experiences of diverse learners. Please join us to celebrate the exceptional work Padrón Campus faculty and students do every day!
