Mission

Following the structure previously established for Teachers Teaching Teachers (TTT), which was modeled after the California Great Teachers Seminar, LPC faculty gather at an off-campus site, share a meal, and discuss teaching pedagogy, philosophy, and current issues. The off-campus site encourages focus and a spirit of innovation. Providing a meal builds community and energy among group members.

The gathering agenda will be set in advance by the organizers and the activities for each meeting will emerge from participant interest. The main goal of the Teaching Institute is to give participants an opportunity to engage in inter-disciplinary discussions on effective teaching methods and strategies that will support the needs of all students across the curriculum.

We are currently funded by generous contributions from the Professional Development Committee.
