Andrews University Teaching & Learning Conference

19th annual conference

On Thursday, March 31, 2022, the Department of Teaching, Learning & Curriculum and the Office of Research & Creative Scholarship at Andrews University in partnership with Berrien Springs Public Schools will host the 19th annual Andrews University Teaching & Learning Conference (AUTLC). The 2022 theme is Everyone is Called: Meeting Diverse Students Needs in Difficult Times. The conference will run from 12:30–6:30 p.m. 

This year the conference will be virtual with the keynote address having in-person and virtual options. This will allow educators from around the world to share reports of significant work or integrative reviews in theory, research, development, applications and societal issues related to all aspects of education. "Best Practices" session presenters will discuss and demonstrate strategies, techniques or solutions to common issues in education. This will be an opportunity to inform attendees about the lessons learned and future plans from those who have designed, developed and implemented education in effective and/or innovative ways especially in the face of challenging and uncertain times.
