SPECIAL ISSUE: TEACHING AT EMORY

Teaching commission report affirms opportunities
and responsibilities regarding pedagogy at Emory

 

The teaching commission report: An introduction

 

Teaching has many dimensions;
it comes in different shapes, forms

 

Teaching flourishes in the context of a
lively intellectual community

 

Teaching, along with the intellectual
community that nurtures it, is changing;
we at Emory must squarely face this change

 

Teaching can be taught; it should
also be developed and cultivated

 

Teaching can and should be evaluated,
by each teacher and by other faculty
members, as well as by students

 

The primary motivation for good
teaching is the joy of teaching well--
teaching is a vocation, not a job

 

Excellence in teaching is the responsibility
of faculty; administrators and staff should
provide necessary resources
