[Registration Form] [Participant Information Form] 

APAP, through the Faculty Development Institute (FDI), is once again pleased to offer the Basic Skills Faculty Development Workshop, October 21-22, 2003, in Phoenix, Arizona. The interactive nature of this workshop provides not only a new perspective on a variety of teaching strategies, but also introduces other faculty who will serve as a network for many years to come.

The workshop will focus on didactic skills and will address many issues including: fundamental knowledge and skills in course and curriculum development, the use of various teaching and assessment strategies, student counseling and advising, time management, the use of technology in teaching, and self-assessment and career planning in the academic environment. This workshop will provide an opportunity to explore these issues through an experiential process of adult-centered, active learning techniques that can be readily adapted to the classroom or wider academic setting.

Early registration is encouraged. The number of participants is limited to one session of 25, and first priority will be given to those who have been wait-listed for a previous session. The cost of this workshop is $375 (to be submitted ONLY upon notification of acceptance). Registration fee includes two breakfasts and two snacks.

The presenters would like the participants to be the most junior of PA faculty. To take part in this workshop, participants must:

• Complete the attached registration form and return it by the September 20 deadline (Registration will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register early to secure your spot)
