Teaching Beyond Perfection: Embracing Challenges, Inspiring Growth

Thursday, January 8, 2025 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Ever had a class where the tech failed, an activity flopped, or your students looked utterly lost?? You're not alone - and that's the point. Teaching is a journey, not a performance. Join us in embracing imperfection as a catalyst for growth through Dr. Jessamyn Neuhaus's keynote and dynamic sessions with NIU Faculty Teaching Mentors - empowering educators to build resilience, spark innovation, and create thriving teaching communities.
