Retreat Facilitator: Dr. Connie Schroeder
Assistant Director, Center for Instructional and Professional Development, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, and an expert on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. SoTL is a movement in education for investigating how students learn best in the classroom, as well as looking at what approaches work best for teaching students. This retreat is a natural extension of CLASP's exploration of best teaching practices and can be a way for you to reinvigorate your classroom teaching and test your assumptions about what approaches work best with students.
