NDSU’s Office of Teaching and Learning plans a series of instructional development activities that kicks off each May with the Teaching and Learning Conference. This year’s instructional development theme is student retention.
Professional development activities are divided into three sub-themes which are neurodiversity in the classroom, supporting and retaining generation Z students, and supporting students’ mental health.
Faculty, staff, and graduate students are invited to join the Office of Teaching and Learning for any or all of these FREE learning events. Webinars are open to educators from across the North Dakota University System as well as the K-12 education system.
