“Teaching is a gift. The importance and relevance of content will be intuitively obvious to students. Teach the class you’d like to take.” Such assumptions are mistaken and can make it difficult to teach effectively. Join us to discuss these and other assumptions and get on the right track for teaching excellence.

Effective teaching is a core value at the University of South Carolina and is essential for tenure and promotion. New faculty need to seek and obtain whatever assistance is needed early on to be effective teachers. However, being an effective researcher and a productive scholar is also essential for tenure and promotion. Balance is, therefore, required. The Center for Teaching Excellence invites new tenure track faculty to join us for lunch, brief presentations by Vice Provost for Faculty Development Christine Curtis and a recently tenured faculty member, and an interactive discussion of mechanisms faculty can use to achieve balance between effective teaching and research.
