2024 Great Teachers Seminar
Monday, June 17 – Thursday, June 20, 2024 – North Bend State Park
Overview
The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission and the Community and Technical College System with support from the WV Advisory Council of Faculty will sponsor the 32nd Annual West Virginia Great Teachers Seminar in June at North Bend State Park. Like its counterparts across North America and beyond, the seminar is based on the principle that teachers are the experts in teaching and learn best from each other. It will focus on innovations and challenges of instruction in higher education. Faculty members from every higher education institution in West Virginia are encouraged to apply.
Seminar Focus
The workshop focus is not on teaching specific disciplines, but rather on the art of teaching. The GTS is based on the notion that, if properly tapped, the collective wisdom, experience and creativity of any group of practicing educators far surpasses that of any individual expert or consultant. The structure of the seminar evolves from the initial innovations and challenges workshops. Experienced and inexperienced college educators learn from each other.
Seminar Details
The total cost of lodging for 3 nights and food (single occupancy*) is $630 + travel. Tuition is paid by the WVHEPC, and institutions fund travel, lodging, and meals. Payment is made to North Bend State Park at the conclusion of the seminar (to be reimbursed to you afterward). Please, no spouses, friends or children.
(*Double occupancy available for faculty from the same institution).
