Teaching and Learning

Summer Faculty Institute 2017

Faculty from across all colleges and departments will gather to learn from some of the country’s leading educators at the University of Delaware’s 2017 Summer Faculty Institute (SFI), scheduled May 30 to June 1 in Gore and Mitchell Halls.

This year’s organizing principle is “making meaning and creating deep learning through technology,” and each day’s program supports a special theme.

The keynote speakers for SFI 2017 include James Lang, author of the book Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons from the Science of Learning and a popular Chronicle of Higher Education column of the same name; Valerie Barr, professor of computer science at Union College; and Mills Kelly, professor of history and art history at George Mason University. The keynote speakers’ presentations will introduce the daily themes at the Institute: small teaching, computational reasoning, and digital humanities, respectively.

Registration is now open, and more information is available online.
