In an ongoing effort to support teachers and learners, the Center for Teaching and Learning heads up many vibrant pedagogical endeavors. We are proud to offer the"Focus on Student Learning" series (FOSL). The series features monthly presentations by engaging leaders in the world of academic excellence, and mini-workshops guided by professors who have introduced helpful and innovative teaching strategies. These are useful discussions that encourage creative approaches to both old and new ideas in teaching and learning.

EDUC. professor Becky Mercado also shared a survey she created and gives to students on the first day of class to enhance how she presents material in class, determining group work throughout the semester and to allow for variance on how papers are submitted (online or handed in hard copy).
