Advanced Teaching Institute

June 7-10th, 2004

University of Idaho

Pacific Crest’s Advanced Teaching Institutes bring together the most experienced and successful process educators from across the country in a supportive and collegial environment where expertise, discoveries, and insights are shared openly. Building upon personal experience and a knowledge base established at previous Teaching Institutes, participants engage in activities and research that generate new knowledge and enhance personal growth.

The main objective of the Advanced Teaching Institute is to help participants improve their performance as mentors, teachers, faculty members, and agents for change in higher education. Since assessment is essential for improving performance, assessment will be practiced in different contexts and forms throughout the Institute.
