Teaching in Focus Conference (TiF)

TIF 2019 Call for Proposals – “Intentionality in Your Teaching: From Practice to Praxis”

The theme for our 7th annual Teaching in Focus Conference (TIF) is about your specific and intentional approach to teaching.  We ask you to consider what it is you do in your classroom and why. During the conference, participants will have an opportunity to share and learn from others at York what innovative approaches and strategies are being used in classrooms across campus. TiF is designed to celebrate educational innovation and transformation. We strongly encourage all session proposals to be highly interactive to allow participants to engage in meaningful dialogue with the presenters and with each other.

Proposals are due no later than March 1st, 2019.
