2022 Annual Conference
TTLC 2022: Teaching and Learning Change
The 2022 Transformational Teaching and Learning Conference explored teaching and learning in relation to change. The conference showcased the theme Teaching and Learning Change, in which we recognized how focusing on relationships, resilience, and reflection can better prepare graduates for the future. The 2022 conference program included one in-person day with several invited plenary sessions along with asynchronous contributions from Texas A&M instructors reviewed by the steering committee.Program Highlights
This year we hosted Dr. José Bowen, an educator, musician, scholar, and consultant with over 40 years of innovative experience in educational leadership at Stanford, Georgetown, and SMU. His most recent work, Teaching Change, highlights the significance of relationships, resilience, and reflection as factors driving effective teaching and learning. This book formed the foundational theme for the conference and prompted half a dozen energizing TED-style talks from esteemed colleagues.View the full program.
