DSP Department Leaders Forum

The DSP Department Leaders Forum

The DSP Forum provides an opportunity for monthly conversations about the happenings in your department, with your career trajectory, within your administration, and with your students. The forum is a chance for networking in a safe environment for social support, information sharing, seed-plantings, and idea generation.

• Forum Format
  The forum allows for you to learn and discuss matters that directly affect your department. Each forum will be scheduled to allow for both education and open discussion.
  Format participants will assist in generating the agenda for the next forum. We will continue conversations on the DSP Community platform.

• Forum Calendar
  In addition to having the opportunity to discuss the departmental impact of current events, the forum allows for department leaders to continue discussions generated at both the Department Leaders Summer Institute (June of alternating years) and the Annual Meeting’s Department Chairs Breakfast (November).

Spring: March, April, May

Fall: August, September, October

• Topic: Innovations in Pedagogy
  

  We would like to use this month's forum to circle back to a topic from the 2018 inaugural Summer Institute, Innovations in Pedagogy! This is an opportunity to discuss how departments provide pedagogical training for graduate students, as well as what types of professional development are available to faculty to help them advance as teachers or participate in scholarship of teaching and learning. You can also share new techniques you are trying in the classroom, different technologies you've tried and how they have or have not worked within your courses, or new developments you may be curious about.
