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
Recommendations for action Future discussions
