Pre-conference Workshop (PC13)
7:30 am – 5:00 pm
Attendees Will Be Required to Bring Their Own Laptops
Brief Description
The academy will provide training in established and new areas, this year focusing on universal course design, management in dynamic classes, and innovating in the classroom through the scholarship of teaching and learning. A significant effort would be put forward in engaging diverse audiences from minority serving and primary teaching institutions, in order to elevate diversity, equity, and inclusion in our classrooms and expand participation at AAEA from these groups.
The academy is designed to meet three goals: (1) Support graduate student and early career professional development of teaching effectiveness and SoTL through creation of teaching and mentorship resources, activities, and programming; (2) Engage in diverse and inclusive outreach and service to academics in minority serving and primary teaching institutions; and (3) extend forums for AAEA members to participate in teaching and learning communities throughout the year. Our specific objectives for the 2025 academy are to strengthen and enhance course design, classroom management, and SoTL.
Intended Audience: Graduate students, early career professionals and faculty, including faculty at various career stages who are looking for advancing teaching skills and practices. We will actively recruit graduate students and early career professionals from multicultural institutions, primary teaching institutions, and institutions that do not traditionally attend the AAEA meetings.
Travel Grants: Thanks to the AAEA Trust, we will be offering 15 Travel Grants. Applications will be accepted beginning in March. Additional details about travel grant will be available when applications open.
