2008 Arizona Wakonse Teaching Retreat

May 15-18, 2008

Applications are now being accepted for the 2008 Arizona Wakonse Teaching Retreat, May 15-18, 2008.

Arizona Wakonse, a three-day teaching retreat, is a part of a national network of Wakonse Retreats for faculty teaching in higher education. The annual Arizona Wakonse Retreat brings together faculty from Arizona’s higher education institutions who are devoted to strengthening the teaching and learning process. This is a unique opportunity to interact with teaching colleagues from outside your discipline and institution. Selected Arizona faculty are brought together to discuss a variety of issues and ideas regarding teaching and learning.

NAU will send up to ten faculty members. In this open invitation to faculty members, we seek faculty from any academic discipline who

  • Couple a dedication to teaching and learning with a profound respect for students;
  • Seek to inspire academic excellence and to stimulate students to become active participants in their own learning;
  • Exhibit a passion for scholarship combined with a desire to infuse what is taught in the classroom with what is learned from one’s own scholar or creative pursuits;
  • Recognize the interdependence between teaching and learning.

    • The retreat is held in the lodge-like setting at Camp Tontazona outside of Payson. Selection as a Wakonse participant will include transportation, meals, lodging, and conference registration. The online application form is available here. Applications are due on or before March 28, 2008.

    If you have questions about the retreat experience, contact previous Wakonse Fellows who are part of the NAU Wakonse Steering Committee: Paul Ferlazzo, Gretchen McAllister, Phil Mlsna, Laura Sujo deMontes.

    If you have questions about the Wakonse application or retreat details, contact Jeane Spada-Allgood, Faculty Development Coordinator at 523-8883.
