Teaching Improvement Workshops
Teaching excellence is central to education. Teachers serve
as models, motivators, and mentors—catalysts of the
learning process. CSREES, in cooperation with the Academic
Programs Section (APS) of the National Association of State
Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC), conduct annual, regional teaching improvement
workshops throughout the calendar year.
These workshops provide the opportunity for university faculty
within the food and agricultural sciences to meet and discuss
innovative teaching methods, materials, and pedagogy to advance
instructional quality within the academic system. Through
a cooperative agreement,
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
maintains
a web
site resource of best practices in teaching for use by
educators throughout the system.
In addition, the Excellence in University Teaching national awards program recognizes outstanding teachers. Visit the CSREES Web site for Excellence in University Teaching program information and nomination submission guidelines.
