Join us for a multi-day workshop in a stimulating and resource-rich environment where you will participate in sessions on topics including effective teaching strategies, course design, establishing a research program in a new setting, working with research students, balancing professional and personal responsibilities, time-management, and other topics of interest to the participants. The program from the 2009 workshop will give you a good idea of what we do in these workshops (it includes a link to the NSF visit schedule from 2009).
