FYS Summer Workshop
August 9-11, 2010
This Summer Workshop is designed to
help FYS faculty develop strategies for teaching reading, writing,
listening, speaking, and critical thinking to first year students,
cultivate their own abilities as readers, writers, and scholars,
and foster community with their FYS colleagues. Participants will
also have opportunities to revise and refine their syllabi.
Our aim is that participants will come
away from the Summer Workshop with a renewed sense of excitement
about and commitment to the teaching of the First Year Seminar, a
firmer grasp of the processes of reading, writing, and thinking, as
well as the pedagogies that support their development in first year
students.
Attendees will receive either a
stipend or course development funds for their participation in the
workshop.
Please RSVP to Rebecca DeGrazia
at rdegrazi@butler.edu
by August 4 if you are interested in
attending.
