classroom teaching, and 2) a specific problem encountered

while teaching. seminar staff will lead sessions centered

on the special interests and problems of each group.

purposes of the retreat include:

º to celebrate good teaching.

º to venture beyond the limits of our own

specializations and environments in search of transferable

ideas and the universals of teaching.

º to develop an atmosphere of introspection and self-

appraisal by providing a relaxed setting and

straightforward process where participants seriously

review and contemplate their attitudes, methods, and

behavior as teachers.

º to practice a rational analysis of instructional

problems and develop realistic, creative approaches and

solutions that address those specific problems.

º to exchange information and ideas by building an

expanding network of communication among teaching faculty

in higher education.

º to renew ourselves professionally and personally.
