ConnectED 2024 – Teaching and Learning Conference – May 8, 2024

UFV Teaching & Learning is excited to host ConnectED 2024 – a day for building connections, engaging in teaching and learning experiences, and creating opportunities for transforming education, one conversation, idea, and action at a time. In Radical Hope, Kevin Gannon reminds us, “when we adopt a student-centered philosophy, the possibilities for a truly transformative pedagogy open before us. Truly transformative pedagogy is radical.”

How are you engaging in radical spaces of possibilities? How are you reimagining your pedagogy to become transformative? How are you cultivating hope in your classes? What drives your passion? How are you engaging praxis? Who inspires your work? How are you creating student centered learning experiences?

These are just some of the questions we look forward to exploring on May 8, 2024. Come and join us!

Call for Proposals is now open- deadline April 5, 2024

We invite you to submit a proposal for one of the following options:

1) “Micro-Teaching”

This session is a 15-minute ‘teach’ to model an engaging strategy, tool, approach, pedagogical innovation, assessment, resource, or instructional technique that supports student learning. A total of three micro-teach sessions will take place in a one-hour session.

2) “Teaching and Learning Experience”

This session is a 45-minute lesson/activity with interactive methods, hands-on engagement, collaborative approaches, and/or place-based experiences. Participants will engage in the session as ‘learners’ and receive materials/templates/resources to adapt to their own disciplinary areas. The presenter will facilitate a 15-minute post-lesson debrief.

3) “Scholarship of Teaching and Learning”

This session is a 15-minute scholarly presentation on research into teaching and learning within disciplinary fields. The presenter(s) will share past or current research, methodological designs, and discuss the results and impact of this research on their teaching and learning practices. Two presentations will take place within this 45-minute session with time for questions.

4) “Community of Practice”

Presenters/Facilitators will host a 45-minute focused discussion around an existing CoP that they are leading or participating in, or propose a new topic of interest, a ‘problem of practice’, innovation in teaching and learning, transformative approach, or educational concern and challenge. The Community of Practice model, which can be facilitated in a variety of ways, allows participants to contribute to and generate ideas about how to address the topic(s) under discussion.
