Teaching and learning everywhere is experiencing dramatic disruption, forcing educators to rethink what it means to prepare students for an uncertain future. While some disruptions certainly present opportunities for justice, change also introduces new challenges. How do we intentionally disrupt taken-for-granted conventions of higher learning rather than feeling as though the disruptions are happening to us? What practices have we put into place that work in disrupting conventions?

The conference sessions will address topics such as:

1. New educational norms and disruptions
2. Empowering teaching practices
3. Ungrading and self-reflective teaching practices
4. Leveraging AI in the classroom
5. Positionality and equity in learning

Faculty, academic administrators, faculty developers, instructional designers, graduate students and anyone interested in enhancing the professional development of faculty and administrators committed to excellence in teaching and learning will find meaning and practical strategies at this fall’s conference. We hope you will join us.
