Representatives for the Belk Center will be presenting at the Dream 2020 Conference February 19 at 2:30 in National Harbor, MD. The presentation is entitled: “Building a Culture of Excellence in Teaching & Learning”.

Building on lessons learned from ATD’s recent Teaching & Learning initiatives (OER Degree and Engaging Adjunct Faculty), presenters will cover four guiding principles for building a culture of excellence in teaching and learning. Two colleges at different stages of the journey will discuss building these institutional cultures, and the Belk Center will share early insights from our collaborative teaching and learning case study work at North Carolina colleges. Attendees will leave this session with a deeper understanding of the need to bring full-time faculty, adjunct faculty, and faculty developers into the center of the college’s student success work.
