"Teaching with fire: (Re) igniting the passion for teaching" An assessment of the 3rd annual teaching day

The NAU Teaching Academy and the staff of the Faculty Professional Development Program convened the Third Annual NAU Teaching Day from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for over 200 per-registered participants. The visiting speaker was Dr. John Pollard, a faculty member at the University of Arizona, who talked about his work on teaching students to think within their discipline (“thinking chemically” in his case). Following his presentation, a series of round table discussions was convened, each focusing on a different topical area related to university teaching.
