Faculty and graduate students who teach, have you ever tried a teaching technique, activity or assignment that just fell flat? Something that seemed like a wonderful fit for the course and your learners but just did not take off? What did you learn from that experience? How did it change your teaching?

This is your opportunity to share. Learning and growth take place when things do not workout, when we must rethink and revise our course of action.

We have all seen calls for proposals for conferences where we showcase our successes, but sharing our not-so-successful endeavors carries a lot of merit, too.

We are looking for proposals for a virtual poster symposium that focus on teaching and learning, specifically what you have tried that did not work. If your proposal is selected, you will create a virtual poster and present a 15-minute session on your topic.

Proposals are open now through February 1 at 11:59 p.m. Please submit your proposal of no more than 300 words using this form. Describe one of the following scenarios: What did you try that did not work and what occurred? What worked but did not take hold? What hypothesis or assumption did you make that did not pan out? For any scenario you select, please include what you learned from the experience and how you plan to change or have changed your practice. Individuals selected to present will be notified on April 1, 2020.

Please email Dana Kemery if you have any questions or concerns.
