Faculty Showcase

TIDL proudly hosts Faculty Showcases each year to make innovative teaching more visible! The Faculty Showcase is an opportunity for faculty to talk about - and for others to hear about - what faculty have learned that is making a difference in their teaching practice. Let's celebrate the work teachers are doing!
