Faculty Showcase

Learning and Teaching Center proudly hosts Highline Faculty Showcases. The goal is to make teaching more public: the Showcase in 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 practices. Let’s celebrate the work teachers are doing!

Have suggestions for faculty work to highlight for upcoming faculty showcases? Working on an amazing project that you’d like to share with colleagues? Reach out to the LTC and let us know!
