The NAU Teaching Seminar
Creating Significant Learning Experiences for Students in Gateway Classes

Sponsored by the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Faculty Development Program

The NAU Teaching Seminars 2008 and 2009, "Creating Significant Learning Experiences for Students in Gateway Classes," gave selected faculty the opportunity to participate in a focused examination of teaching and learning within the context of gateway classes.

Background:
The recommendations of the Task Force on the Freshman Year (2007-08) included (1) a recognition of the significant role that key university courses play in fostering student success in their initial years at NAU and (2) a commitment to support faculty working to enhance their teaching of these classes: "Programs are needed that better acquaint faculty with the characteristics of contemporary traditional-age college students and freshman at NAU and a range of pedagogical practices that can effectively engage freshman learners." The NAU Teaching Seminars 2008 and 2009 respond to the recommendations of this Task Force.
