Dear [your boss’s name]:
Dear [your dean/chair’s name]:
To ensure that [institution’s name] continues to be on the cutting-edge of the best pedagogical practices, I would like to attend the 17th annual Teaching Professor Conference, a two-and-a-half day faculty development conference in Atlanta, Georgia, May 29-31, 2020.
This conference features plenary sessions, workshops, and non-stop networking through which I will discover researched-based techniques on how to connect with today’s students, use new technology, and apply active-learning strategies from nationally recognized experts.
Benefits of Attending
By attending this conference, I will learn theoretically sound ideas covering these topics:
• Preparing Your Course
• Assessing Learning
• Student Engagement
• Technology Tools for Teaching
• Online Teaching and Learning
• Teaching Specific Student Populations
• Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
• Teaching in the Health Services
• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)
• Instructional Vitality: Ways to Keep Teaching Fresh and Invigorated
• New Faculty
• Faculty Support
My participation in this conference will equip me with new skills and strategies that will augment my strengths as a teacher and mentor. I will return reinvigorated and ready to share my new knowledge with colleagues.
Please consider supporting my attendance at The Teaching Professor Conference. This event has sold out the past several years and I would like to reserve my spot as soon as possible. To learn more about the conference, visit .
Sincerely,
[Your name]
PS – Here is a sampling of comments from past Teaching Professor Conference participants.
“It is just different in that it is not only a professional conference, but one taught by teachers vs. content experts. This is its biggest strength and why I prefer it to other conferences.” – Kirsten R. Watts, instructor, University of St. Francis, Joliet—Albuquerque Campus
“Conference provided a great chance to really get at the nitty gritty of how to get students engaged in lessons and invested in their classmates. Educators always gain with more examples in the oft-touted community building; it is easier said than done.” – Ryan Dostal, research assistant and teaching assistant, Kansas State University
“I love that the ideas were all about improving your teaching—most of the conferences that I have attended are research conferences and although that is important/interesting in its own way, I spend most of my time teaching and new and innovative ideas are key for my success and my students' success.” – Sarah Ramsey, assistant professor of curriculum & instruction, Northeastern State University
In addition, when surveyed about the conference:
• 96% reported they were likely or extremely likely to implement the ideas presented at the conference.
• Overall, attendees rated the conference as a 4.2 on a scale of one to five (five being the best).
• More than 80% of attendees plan to attend a future Teaching Professor Conference.
