2020 ANDREWS UNIVERSITY TEACHING AND LEARNING CONFERENCE
UPDATE: After much consideration, we have decided to cancel the conference this year. This is based on the presence of novel coronavirus cases in the state, which prompted Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer to declare a state of emergency. Please stay tuned for AUTLC 2021! (Posted 3/11/2020)
On Thursday, March 26, 2020, the Teaching, Learning, and Curriculum Department at Andrews University in partnership with Berrien Springs Public Schools, will host its 18th annual conference. The AUTLC invites proposals for scholarly work, posters, and best practice demonstrations from university faculty, PreK-12 teachers, graduate and undergraduate students, and other education professionals. This year’s conference theme is “Constructing Compassionate, Conscientious Learning Communities."
