The CTL’s Fall Semester Wrap-up!

December 5, 2023

The CSUN Center for Teaching and Learning had a busy fall! In addition to hosting the What Really Works in Education conference at CSUN at the end of September, the CTL also co-hosted the same conference at the University of Maine, Augusta, and at the William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia in October. Around 500 educators on the East and West Coasts were able to learn about co-teaching, inclusive, and high-leverage practices. Dr. Wendy Murawski (of CSUN) and Dr. Melissa Jenkins (of the University of Mary Washington), as the authors of the new 2024 textbook "Connecting high-leverage practices to student success: Collaboration in inclusive classrooms", were the keynotes at each of the 3 conferences.
