Sharing Best Teaching Practices
Submit your great idea to Jean Thompson, AAA Manager Meetings and Education at jean.thompson@aaahq.org
Do you have a teaching idea that you use in your classes? Would you like to present it at the meeting and be featured as a presenter on the program? Then you are invited to submit a proposal for a 10-minute presentation during the Sharing Best Teaching Practices session. The session moderator will work with accepted presenters to fine tune their ideas into 10-minute attention-grabbing presentations. We welcome ALL educators to submit proposals. This is your chance to share with the accounting teaching community that great idea for how to teach a difficult concept, how to design and lead an effective group project, how to establish a nurturing and inspiring culture in the classroom, or how to incorporate critical thinking and professional judgement into accounting courses. We are especially looking for ideas that integrate the Pathway's "Vision Model" or embed big data and analytics experiences into courses and curriculum.
This session is sponsored by the Conference on Teaching and Learning in Accounting (CTLA).
