15TH ANNUAL CELT CONFERENCE ON
EXCELLENCE IN LEARNING AND TEACHING
WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY & FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 8 & 9, 2009

Complete Session Information and Schedule

Sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT), the Faculty Recognition and Support Committee (FRAS), and the Office of the Provost California State University, Chico.

The 2009 CELT conference offers a wide variety of sessions that will engage faculty, staff, and students in a thoughtful exploration of the nature of learning and teaching. Join us to learn more about what each of us is doing, and can further do, to enhance high quality learning and teaching – in the University and beyond.  This year's principle theme, Change, Continuity and Collaboration, will offer sessions that address elements of the academy that should be protected, maintained, eliminated, updated or improved through collaborative efforts.  In addition to the theme, the conference will have strands in the following areas:

• Teacher/Scholar Model – How you bring your research/creativity into the classroom

• Teaching Techniques and Classroom Management

• Strategic Priority of Internationalization

• Sustainability in the 21st Century

• Using Technology to Enhance Student Learning

Strands will be highlighted in the online registration. You may register for one or all of the sessions in the strand.

All conference participants are cordially invited to attend the CELT Conference Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, October 7, 11:30am - 1:30pm in the Bell Memorial Union Auditorium honoring Outstanding Teacher Robert Tinkler, PhD, (HIST) and Outstanding Academic Advisor Esther Larocco, PhD, (PSED).
