At the beginning of every academic year, the Office of the Provost and the Center for Teaching host “Teaching at Vanderbilt,” an orientation for junior and senior faculty new to Vanderbilt.

TaV 2009 will occur on Thursday, August 20th. The event will run from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. at the Center for Teaching.

This year’s event will offer a selection of sessions in which participants will explore topics such as:

• getting to know Vanderbilt undergraduates,
• best practices for fostering and assessing student learning,
• teaching with technology, and
• documenting and evaluating teaching effectiveness

Additionally, an Information Fair and Reception at the end of the event will give participants a chance to socialize with each other and with other Vanderbilt faculty, as well as get practical questions answered by representatives from various services across campus. Check back later this summer for more information about which representatives will be in attendance.

For more information about TaV, contact Kat Baker, Assistant Director, at 322-7290 or via email.

All faculty new to Vanderbilt and those teaching for the first time are encouraged to explore the Center for Teaching's website, including resources for faculty new to Vanderbilt.
