2013 TTC Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals
The mission of the Teaching Theme Committee is to advance the practice and scholarship of teaching in the Academy.
In keeping with the theme of the 2013 conference, Capitalism in Question, the TTC encourages submissions intended to broaden and challenge our thinking about both our teaching and the framework in which we operate. Most of us teach with the underlying assumption that we operate in a capitalist economy. However, in many countries the face of capitalism is changing (e.g. deregulation, increased competitive pressures, the changing nature of jobs, etc.), and as educators, we need to consider these changes and their impact on our field. To that end, we welcome submissions consistent with the conference theme, as well as those that advance excellence in our teaching practices, including but not limited to those which:
· Share and stimulate innovative teaching ideas and practices to broaden and integrate students' thinking.
· Address practical issues or challenges management faculty confront in their classrooms, especially encouraging learning beyond personal experiences, beliefs, and value systems.
· Inspire and prepare junior faculty to become highly effective teachers.
· Integrate teaching across management sub-disciplines and sub-fields.
· Support faculty teaching online, serving non-traditional populations, and/or working in other countries.
· Address factors that reduce constraints and increase excellence in teaching.
TTC gives priority to interactive sessions that facilitate sharing and learning across institutions, disciplines, and national boundaries. Fundamentally, TTC welcomes submissions, presenters, and participants dedicated to excellence in teaching business and management. We encourage creative and provocative submissions (e.g., workshop, panel discussion, local-area tour, keynote address, symposium, tutorial, workout sessions, debates, case study, and roundtable).
PDW sessions will be scheduled for August 9 through August 10, 2013. Every PDW organizer must submit a formal proposal using the 2013 PDW Proposal Submission Form no later than Tuesday January 15, 2013, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. The 2013 PDW Proposal Submission Form will be available starting on November 6 at: http://submissions.aomonline.org/2013/.
We welcome general inquiries and discussions about PDW ideas through December 14, 2012, to aomttcpdws@gmail.com or TTC@Ubalt.edu.
